Stack ports
There are twostackports on thefront panel. One is IN andtheother is OUT.When
stacked, the IN port should connect to the other switch sOUTport and the OUTport
should connect toother switch sIN out. You can just use normal Cat 5or better cable with
RJ-45 connector to stack. Onlystraight-through UTP/STPcable can be used.There is no
Duplex Mode issue and themaximumdistance between first and last switchis 800m.
SWITCH ID
Each switch onastack must have auniqueswitch ID.There are eightdegrees (0~7) in
the rotaryswitch. The switch with least switch ID will becomemaster switch and the
others becomeslave. Ifmaster switch is fail or disconnected tothe switch bystack port,
the switch with least switch ID will becomemaster.
Everydevice in the management stackshould have aunique “Switch ID”.In the
meanwhile,a “Switch ID”which has beenusing byadevice, reused byanother, the
management stackwill fail.
