Chapter 6: Using the Web Interface290To swap the master and slave device: In the Bridging mode, you can swap the master and slave devices bysimply disconnecting ALL cascading cables from them, and thenreconnecting cascading cables. No changes to software settings arerequired. In the Port Forwarding mode, you must follow the procedure below:a. Access the slave device that will replace the master device, andset its role to 'Master', and correctly set the downstreaminterface.b. Access the master device, set its role to 'Slave'.c. Swap the master and slave device now. You must disconnect ALLcascading cables connected to the two devices first beforeswapping them and reconnecting cascading cables.To change the cascading mode applied to a chain:1. Access the last slave device, and change its cascading mode. If the new cascading mode is 'Port Forwarding', you must alsoset its role to 'Slave'.2. Access the second to last, third to last and so on until the first slavedevice to change their cascading modes one by one.3. Access the master device, and change its cascading mode. If the new cascading mode is 'Port Forwarding', you must alsoset its role to 'Master', and correctly select the downstreaminterface.The following diagram indicates the correct sequence. 'N' is the finalone. M = Master device S = Slave device
