Stack Information

The DGS-3312SR Switch can be used as a standalone high-capacity Switch or be used in a stacked arrangement. There are
two hardware requirements to use the Switch in a stacked group:
1. The proper module(s) must be installed. One or two DEM-540 Stacking modules must be installed in order to use the
Switch in a stacked configuration.
2. Slave Switch units in a stacked Switch group must be uniform in type and model, furthermore they must be one of the
Switch models intended for use with the DGS-3312SR, namely the DES-3226S Switches.
One stacking module can be installed to stack up to four additional slave Switch units or two modules can be installed to
stack up to eight additional slave Switch units.
The web manager can be used to enable or disable the stacking mode and to enable stacking for any of the built-in
combination ports.
The Switch stack displayed in the upper right-hand corner of your web-browser is a virtual representation of the actual
stack (see example below). The icons appear in the same order as their respective Switches.
When the Switches are properly interconnected, information about the resulting Switch stack is displayed in the Stack
Mode Setup window. To view stacking information or to enable/disable the stacking mode, click the Stack Information
link in the Configuration folder.
To enable the stacking mode, follow the steps listed below.
1. Select Enabled from the Stack Mode State drop-down menu.
2. Click on the Apply button.
To enable stacking for one or more built-in combination ports, do the following:
1. Select Enabled from the Stack Mode State drop-down menu.
2. Select the Stack Port by clicking to check a corresponding selection box.
