4.5 CONNECTING STH STACKABLE HUBS 

This section describes how to connect the Cabletron Systems STH 
HubSTACK series of active, non-intelligent, stackable hubs to the 
MicroMMAC-T. You can connect up to four STH hubs to the 
MicroMMAC-T, as shown in 

Figure 4-12

Figure 4-12 MicroMMAC-T/STH Stack Configuration

To connect an STH hub to the MicroMMAC-T: 

1.

Attach either end of the Interconnect cable securely to a STACK port 
on the MicroMMAC-T. 

NOTE

You must use Cabletron Systems HubSTACK Interconnect 
cables (order number 9380141) to connect the STH hubs to the 
MicroMMAC-T STACK ports.

NOTE

It is recommended (but not required) that you connect the STH 
hubs to the MicroMMAC-T in logical order, the first STH, the 
one directly on top of the MicroMMAC-T, to the STACK 2 port, 
the next STH in the stack to STACK 3, and so on for additional 
STH hubs.
