refers to the entire stack of hubs; the term

an individual module; the term port refers to an individual

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.
