Stack ports
There are two stack ports on the front panel. One is IN and the other is OUT. When
stacked, the IN port should connect to the other switch's OUT port and the OUT port
should connect to other switch's IN out. You can just use normal Cat 5 or better cable with
RJ-45 connector to stack. Only straight-through UTP/STP cable can be used. There is no
Duplex Mode issue and the maximum distance between first and last switch is 800m.
SWITCH ID
Each switch on a stack must have a unique switch ID. There are eight degrees (0~7) in
the rotary switch. The switch with least switch ID will become master switch and the
others become slave. If master switch is fail or disconnected to the switch by stack port,
the switch with least switch ID will become master.
Reset button
At the middle of front panel, the reset button is designed for reboot the switch without turn
off and on the power.
Network ports
There are 14 10/100/1000Mbps RJ-45 (copper) ports on the front panel. The
