(via the Cascade Down cable) becomes unit 2 (and the next unit is unit 3 and so on), until the maximum stack configuration (up to eight units for an ERS 5900 Series stack and up to four units for an ERS 59100 stack) is reached. If the base unit is changed to another unit in the stack, the new base unit keeps its original unit number in the stack.
Page 52
In this configuration, the base unit discovers the stack in a cascade down (stack down) direction. The following illustration shows a cascade down (stack down) configuration for ERS 5900 switch series. The ERS 59100 switch can be connected similarly. December 2017 Installing ERS 5900 Series...
