Figure 1 Multi-Gigabit Application
See the following table for the cables required and distance limitation to attain the corresponding
speed.
Note: Make sure to select the correct speed for the port in PORT > Port Setup.
1.1.2 Stacking Mode
The Switch can work in Stacking mode and directly connect to other switches. The switches then
operate together and act as a single switch or a virtual chassis. The stackable switches can be
managed from a master switch in the stack.
Note: To set the Switch to Stacking mode, go to the SYSTEM > Stacking > Stacking Setup
screen.
Note: When the Switch is in Stacking mode, it uses the default static IP address 192.168.1.1.
Note: Make sure the stacking port is connected to the specified media type: SFP+ transceiver
or an SFP+ Direct Attach Copper (DAC10G) that you set in SYSTEM > Stacking >
Stacking Port Setup. Default is SFP+.
