Chapter 3: Initial Installation and Configuration36Unsupported Cascading Connections for Port ForwardingThe following guidelines must be obeyed for establishing a cascadingchain in the Port Forwarding mode. Each cascaded device, except for the master device, must have onlyone upstream device. Each cascaded device, except for the last slave device, must haveonly one downstream device. Use only one cable to cascade two devices. That is, NO simultaneousconnection of USB and Ethernet cables between two cascadeddevices.The following diagrams illustrate cascading connections that are NOTsupported.Note: These diagrams are based on Raritan's PX3-iX7 Zero U PDUs, butthe same guidelines apply to other Raritan iX7™ products.UNSUPPORTED connections: One cascaded device has two upstream devices via Ethernet cables.
