HOST/TARGET
■ TARGET (Factory default setting) Lets you connect one, two, three,
or four 2724 hubs to a 2824 managing hub to form a “managed” dual-
speed hub.
■ HOST Lets you connect two 2724 hubs in an unmanaged stack to
form a single 48-port dual-speed hub (with no 2824 hub in the stack).
One hub must be re-configured as the HOST and the other as the
TARGET.
Invalid Connections
The following are invalid connections for the 2724/2824 hubs:
■ Connecting two 2824 managing hubs together Hubs will operate as if
disconnected.
■ Setting a 2724 hub in a managed stack to the HOST mode Hubs will
operate as if disconnected. The STATUS LED is always off in an
unmanaged stack. To correct this condition, set the DIP switch on the
2724 hub to TARGET.
■ Setting both 2724 hubs in an unmanaged stack to HOST or to the
TARGET mode The STATUS LED is always off in an unmanaged
stack. To correct this condition, set the DIP switch on one hub to HOST
and set the DIP switch on the other hub to TARGET.
UNM/MAN
■ UNM (Unmanaged) In this mode, if you change the DIP switch on
the 2724 hub to UNM, all hub ports on the 2724 are automatically
enabled after turning the hub off and then back on. This mode lets you
use a 2724 under the following conditions:
❏ The 2724 is disconnected from the 2824.
❏ The 2824 is off or otherwise not operating.
