Features: The HP Gigabit Stacking Module has the following features:
two transceiver slots for installing any of the HP ProCurve Gigabit trans-
ceivers:
• Gigabit-SX Transceiver (HP J4131A)
• Gigabit-LX Transceiver (HP J4132A)
• Gigabit Stacking Transceiver
(part of the Gigabit Stacking Kit—HP J4116A)
auto-enabled ports—the ports are all configured to be ready for network
operation as soon as a viable network cable is connected
auto-configuration—a default configuration is applied to the module when
the switch is powered on and the module passes self test; this default
configuration works well for most network installations
LEDs that provide information on the link status, network activity, connec-
tion speed, and communication mode (half or full duplex)
"hot swap" operation—you can add a module or replace a module without
having to shut down the switch (changing the module type in a given slot
does require a switch reset)
