BS420 stacking with one cascade cable

Hello Nortel-freaks,

I need to know whether poor-man's stacking between two BS420 is possible with using only one cascading cable.

I have two devices here that do not form a stack correctly and I fear it is because I use only one cable.

The devices are using the following Software:

HW: # 21 FW: 3.1.0.5 SW: 3.1.0.04

On the first device the base unit select button on the right side of the front-panel is pressed.
The LEDs for the according Cascade-cable-connection are lit.

But the Base-LED on the first device does not come up, nor does the configuration adapt to a stack.
With "show hardware unit" only one device is visible.

I checked already with a 3. spare BS420 with same results.

Does anybody know how I can check my config further
and if I really need a second cable to deal out a base-unit ?

Thank You in advance

Wini
