The Avocent MergePoint Unity MPU108EDAC-400 is a 8-port, 1 digital KVM path, with dual AC power supply.

The MergePoint Unity switch includes both KVM over IP and Serial Console Management technology in a single appliance. This combination provides IT administrators a complete and secure, remote management solution to access and control servers, networking equipment and other devices found in data centers and branch offices. Using both in-band and out-of-band tools together allows for a more fault-tolerant and complete, remote management solution. Remote, out-of-band connections complement traditional in-band/software tools to improve troubleshooting, shorten response times and help minimize unplanned downtime.

The MergePoint Unity appliances provide remote users the capabilities of a direct, physical connection to KVM, USB and serial ports of servers and other IT equipment from anywhere.

Question: Daisy chaining 2 MPU108EDAC
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry,

You can cascade / daisy-chain up to two levels of MergePoint Unity switches, enabling users to connect to up to 1024 servers. In a cascaded system, each target port on the main MergePoint Unity switch will connect to the ACI port on each cascaded MergePoint Unity switch. Each cascaded switch can then be connected to a server with an IQ module.

To cascade multiple MergePoint Unity switches:
  1. Attach one end of a CAT 5 cable to a target port on the MergePoint Unity switch.
  2. Connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the 'ACI' port on the back of your cascaded MergePoint Unity switch.
  3. Connect the devices to your cascaded MergePoint Unity switch.
  4. Repeat these steps for all the cascaded MergePoint Unity switches you wish to attach to your system.
From here, the system will automatically "merge" the two switches. All servers connected to the cascaded MergePoint Unity switch will display on the main MergePoint Unity switch server list in the local UI.

Note, The MergePoint Unity switch supports one cascaded switch per target port of the main switch. You cannot attach more switches to the cascaded switches.
Note, Local port cascading is not supported on the MergePoint Unity switch.

For further instructions, please refer to the MPU108EDAC Operating Manual
