Resolution
Yes, you can daisy-chain the AP5202 KVM Switch and the AP5201 KVM Switch to one another. This configuration will allow you to monitor all servers through one single interface.
The recommended configuration: AP5202 designated as the Master or top level switch, AP5201 designated as the Slave or second level switch. In order to connect the two switches together, a specific daisy-chain cable is required. Please reference apc.com for currently available SKUs and pricing.
The total number of servers that be seen off of one daisy-chain configuration is 512.
