Chapter 5: AT-MCF2000S Stacking Module
76 Section I: Features
Maximum Number of Media Converter Modules in a Stack
The maximum size of a stack is based on the number of media converter
modules and not on the number of enclosures. The maximum number of
media converter modules a stack can have is sixteen. When building a
stack, count the total number of media converter slots in the units.
For example, the maximum size of a stack of the AT-MCF2000 Chassis,
which has two slots for media converter modules, is eight enclosures:
8 AT-MCF2000 Chassis x 2 slots = 16 media converter modules
In contrast, the maximum size of a stack of the AT-MCF2300 Chassis,
which has slots for four media converter modules, is four units:
4 AT-MCF2300 Chassis x 4 slots =16 media converter modules
A stack can have both types of chassis. For example, you might create a
stack of four AT-MCF2000 Chassis and two AT-MCF2300 Chassis:
(4 AT-MCF2000 Chassis x 2 slots) + (2 AT-MCF2300 Chassis x 4
slots) = 16 media converter modules
