How to Connect MCCAT18/116 Switches to the Base Switch

connect "one-user" MCCAT switches to the base switch.

1. Turn OFF all MCCAT switches.
2. Connect one MCIM-PS2 to the MCCAT18 or MCCAT116 switch that
has been programmed as a second-tier device:
a. Plug the MCIM's PS/2 keyboard connector into the PS/2 keyboard
port on the second-tier MCCAT switch.
b. Plug the MCIM's PS/2 mouse connector into the PS/2 mouse port
on the second-tier MCCAT switch.
c.
Plug the MCIM's video connector into the VGA port on the
second-tier MCCAT switch.
3. Connect the second-tier MCCAT switch to the first-tier switch (base
switch) via a Cat5 UTP cable.

MCIM being connected with the second-tier MCCAT switch.
