Step 7: Configure Tiering (Optional)
The optional tiering feature allows you to use a KX II as your base device,
then connect additional KX II's to it as tiered devices.
You can then access servers and PX PDUs through the base both locally
and remotely. See the Device Management (on page 141) section of
the KX II Help for more information on this feature.
To enable tiering:
1. From the base KX II tier device, select Device Settings > Device
Services to open the Device Service Settings page.
2. Select Enable Tiering as Base.
3. In the Base Secret field, enter the secret shared between the base
and the tiered devices. This secret is required for the tiered devices
to authenticate the base device. Enter the same secret word for the
tiered device. Click OK.
4. Enable the tiered devices. From the tiered device, choose Device
Settings > Local Port Settings.
5. In the Enable Local Ports section of the page, select Enable Local
Port Device Tiering.
6. In the Tier Secret field, enter the same secret word you entered for
the base device on the Device Settings page. Click OK.
