When you add a new module, the Active Controller learns the configuration from the new unit
dynamically. You can change this configuration to a static configuration by doing a write
memory on the Active Controller.
If the new unit is replacing an old unit, and the configuration of the new unit matches the base
module (module 1) configuration of the old unit, no action is necessary. If the configuration of
the new unit does not match the configuration of the old unit, the Active Controller learns the
module types for the new unit and merges this information with what it knows for the base
module. This merged configuration remains static and stays on the Active Controller even if the
new unit leaves the stack.
