Installing the Cajun P115G Stackable Switch
The procedure for getting the Cajun P115G Stackable Switch up and running depends
on whether the hub is to operate standalone or as part of a stack.
First, attach the adhesive rubber legs to the base of the Cajun switch. If the switch is
to be rack mounted, do not attach the legs.
Standalone Operation - Plug ‘n’ Play
Getting the Cajun hub working is quick and easy:
1. Connect the power cable to the hub,
2. Connect the cables to the front panel ports,
To ensure proper ventilation, ensure that the Cajun P110 NMA slot is closed.
The hub is now fully operational. By default, all ports will operate as 100 Mbps ports,
in half-duplex mode. Port speed can be changed using the DIP switches
Stacked Operation
To make the Cajun P115G work as part of a stack (or to give SNMP management
capabilities to a single Cajun P115G), a Cajun P110 NMA with software version 8.4 (or
higher) is required. See the Release Notes for the required version.
You should make sure the Cajun P110 NMA has the latest agent software. To check
what software version you have, see the agent configuration window in CajunView (on
UNIX), or see the setup main menu of the Cajun P110 NMA.
1. Before adding a switch to the Cajun P110 stack, turn off the main power to the
stack, by individually unplugging each hub.
2. Place the Cajun P110 NMA in the top hub of the stack.
3. If the Cajun P110 NMA contains the latest software version, go to step 4.
If the Cajun P110 NMA does not contain the latest agent software, you should
perform a software download of the latest version. The latest software version is
always shipped with the Cajun P110 NMA.
Download is performed via FTP using a Terminal console or via CajunView –
details can be found in the Cajun P110 NMA installation Guide.
