An example of a stack with four media converter chassis is
illustrated in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Example Stack of Four Media Converter Chassis
The Stack port on the management module and the
stacking module use standard straight-through or crossover
TIA/EIA 568-B-compliant Enhanced Category 5 (Cat 5e)
shielded or unshielded cabling with 100 ohm impedance.
The maximum length of a cable is 100 meters, as shown in
Figure 4. This makes it possible to create a stack of devices
in different racks or even different wiring closets.

To manage a stack, you must start your local and remote
management sessions on the management module. For
local management, you connect a terminal or a personal
computer with a terminal emulation program to the RS-232
Terminal port on the management module. For remote
management, such as with the Telnet application protocol,
you assign the management module an IP configuration
and access the module from your remote workstation using
the module’s IP address.
