Using the Menu To Manage a Candidate Switch
Using the menu interface, you can perform these actions on a Candidate
switch:
■ Add (“push”) the Candidate into an existing stack
■ Modify the Candidate’s stacking configuration (Auto Join and Transmission
Interval
)
■ Convert the Candidate to a Commander
■ Disable stacking on the Candidate so that it operates as a standalone
switch
In its default stacking configuration, a Candidate switch can either automati-
cally join a stack or be manually added (“pulled”) into a stack by a Commander,
depending on the Commander’s Auto Grab setting. The following table lists the
Candidate’s configuration options:
