The device of the group will be shown as the station address (the last number of IP Address) +
device name on the button (e.g. 196_CES2326B). If no corresponding device exists, it will show ”--
--“.
Once the devices join the group successfully, they can be managed via Master device, and users
will not be able to manage them via telnet/console/web individually.
Up to 16 devices can be grouped for VSM; however, only one Master is allowed to exist in each
group. For Master redundancy, you may configure more than two devices as Master device; however,
the Master device with the smaller MAC value will be the Master. All of these 16 devices can
become Master device and back up each other.
