Each ARI port on the main GCM2 or GCM4 appliance can be connected with a Cat5 cable to
another compatible switch in either of the two following ways:
By connecting to the ACI port of another GCM2 or GCM4 appliance or an earlier-model
switch
By connecting to a KCO that is connected to the local user ports on an earlier-model switch
