4 Configuring a stack module Adding a module Click Add Module to add a module to the stack. Configuring a new module can be accomplished by following steps below: • When you add a new module, the Active Controller learns the configuration from the new unit dynamically. You can change this configuration to a static configuration by doing a write memory on the Active Controller. • If the new unit is replacing an old unit, and the configuration of the new unit matches the base module (module 1) configuration of the old unit, no action is necessary. If the configuration of the new unit does not match the configuration of the old unit, the Active Controller learns the module types for the new unit and merges this information with what it knows for the base module. This merged configuration remains static and stays on the Active Controller even if the new unit leaves the stack. Click Add to display the new stack module. Click Delete to delete a module.
