Item
Certain Network Management Station (NMS) applications assume a stack up
configuration for the GUI which represents the stack (see
reason, Nortel recommends that you always configure the top unit in the stack as
the base unit.
In any stack configuration, the following applies:

Description
1 Last unit
2 Base unit
3 Stacking cable 30 cm (order number AL 2018005)
4 Stacking max-return cable 1 m (part number AL 2018006)
When you apply power to the stack, the base unit initializes and the entire
stack powers up as a single logical unit.
You can attach an RS-232 communications cable to the console port of any
switch in the stack.
You can downline upgrade the entire stack from any switch in the stack from
the console interface, a Telnet session, the Web-based management interface,
or any generic SNMP-based network management software.
You can access and manage the stack using a Telnet connection, the
Web-based management interface, or any generic SNMP management tool
through any switch port that is part of the stack configuration.
When you stack three or more switches, use the longer (1-meter) stacking
max-return cable to complete the link from the last unit in the stack to the base
unit.
