ONNECTIONS
This chapter discusses how to make connections to the hub’s
twisted-pair, cascading hubs to create a stack, and linking with
other hubs (or hub stacks).
Hub Cascading/Building a Stack
You can stack up to four hubs using the daisy-chain ports to form
one logical hub. In this configuration, the interconnected hubs
constitute a single logical unit, providing a maximum of 128
twisted-pair ports.
Use the provided daisy-chain cable to connect the Daisy-Chain
OUT port on the rear panel of one hub to the Daisy-Chain IN port
on the hub below it, as shown in the figure below. Repeat this
procedure for each hub to be included in the stack.
