Group Numbering

For management purposes, each group within a device is assigned a number. The bottom module is always group 15, the next module up is group 14, etc.

▲Important: The AsantéFAST 100 TX Managed Hub mod- ule contains two groups (the management module and the hub); therefore, it uses two group numbers (group 15 and group 14). See Figure 3-5.
