2.4 Stack Installation

There are two RJ-45 ports on the front panel for proprietary management stack. Only straight-through UTP/STP cable can be used.

Plug one end of the cable in the “IN” port and the other end to the ”OUT” port of next device. Repeat the step for every device in the stack cluster, then ending at last switch.

Before management stacking, be sure of every device uses a unique ëNote “SWITCH ID”, or the management stack will not work. The switch with least SWITCH ID will become Master. Only Master switch’s management

interface (console, telnet, web and SNMP) is accessible.

Please find the following picture for sample connection. Please note the stack port is for management only. For data packets to be transmitted between switches, you will still need to connect their network ports.
