GBIC Port

♦ Front-panel module.

♦ One Stacking port and one GBIC fiber port

♦ Connects to GBIC devices at full duplex only.

♦ Allows multi-mode fiber optic connections of up to 550 m

(SX and LX) and single-mode fiber optic connections of up to
5 km (LX only). GBIC modules are available in –SX and –LX
fiber optic media.

♦ IEEE 802.3x compliant Flow Control for full-duplex.

Stacking Port

♦ One transmitting port and one receiving port.

♦ Use the connector of

IEEE 1394b.

♦ Data rate up to 1250 Mbps

♦ 7-segment LED display to indicate switch ID number within

the switch stack.

The optional Stacking Module allows up to 6 DES-3326S
Switches to be interconnected via their individual Stacking
Modules. This forms a 6 switch stack that can then be
managed and configured as thought the entire stack were a
single switch. The switch stack is then accessed through a
single IP address or alternatively, through the master switch’s
serial port (via the management station’s console and the
switch’s Command Line Interface).
