the management module is 0. The ID number for the
AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module is set with DIP switches
and can range from 1 to 30. The default value of the
stacking module is 1.
Before you install the management and stacking modules in
a chassis, you must set the chassis ID numbers. The
jumper and DIP switches are not accessible after the
installation of the modules. In addition, the ID numbers
cannot be controlled through the AT-S97 Management
Software.
The ID numbers assigned to the devices in a stack do not
need to be sequential or reflect a devices’ position relative
to the chassis with the management module. However, the
chassis ID number must be unique within the stack.
The range of the chassis ID numbers is unrelated to the
maximum number of chassis permitted in a stack. As
explained in the previous section, “Maximum Number of
Media Converter Modules” on page 26, the maximum
number of devices in a stack is determined by the number
of media converter modules, with a maximum of 16
modules.
Assign the master management module’s a chassis ID
number of 0. For further information, refer to the AT-S85
and AT-S97 Management Software Command Line
Interface User’s Guide.
Connecting
and
Disconnecting
Stacking
Cables
The packet traffic on the Stack ports on the AT-MCF2000M
Management Module and the AT-MCF2000S Stacking
Module is restricted to management traffic between the
management and stacking modules. These ports do not
carry traffic from the media converter channels.
Consequently, the operations of the media converter
channels in the units are not affected when cables are
connected or disconnected from the Stack ports on the
management and stacking modules.
Guidelines to
Building a
Stack
The following guidelines apply to building a stack of
AT-MCF2000 chassis:
ˆ A stack can have up to eight chassis and 16 media
converter modules.
ˆ The maximum distance between two Stack ports is 100
meters (328 feet).
