• Temporary Base Unit --- If an assigned base unit fails,
the next unit in the stack order automatically becomes
the new temporary base unit. This change is indicated
by the Base LED on the temporary base unit’s LED
display panel turning on (yellow).
The automatic base unit change to the next unit in the
stack order is a temporary safeguard which allows
you time to replace the failed unit, or reassign the
temporary base unit as the new base unit.
Set the Unit Select switch on the temporary base unit
to Base (up =Base) to reassign it as the new base unit.
• Removing a unit from the stack --- if a unit is removed
from the stack (therefore operating in standalone
mode), the following switch configuration settings
revert back to the settings configured before the unit
became a member of the stack:
• IP address
• console password
• TELNET password
• SNMP community strings
Note: If you do not reassign the temporary base
unit as the new base unit, and the temporary base
unit fails, the automatic failover to another
temporary base unit will not occur.
