Introduction
Intended Audience: This manual assumes that the user has a general working knowledge of networking principles and architecture and is familiar with network systems in general.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Kingston Pro-Series®19-inch rack-mount, stackable 10BASE-T Ethernet Hub. There are two models: the KNE16TP/RS and KNE24TP/RS, 16-Port and 24-Port Ethernet hubs, respectively. The Pro-Series models offer several new enhancements. The Stack-n-Play®feature allows for easy installation without the need to configure ID switches. The Hot-Stack®feature allows adding new hubs without powering down. The Smart Monitor® feature offers network traffic monitoring through a bar-graph LED display.
The EtheRx hubs provide sixteen (16) or twenty-four (24) UTP (Unshielded Twisted-Pair) ports for 10BASE-T Ethernet connections, one BNC port for 10BASE2 thin Ethernet connection, and one AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) port for either 10BASE2 Cheapernet, 10BASE5 thick Ethernet, 10BASE-T, 10BASE-FL, or FOIRL (Fiber Optic Inter Repeater Link) segment using a proper external transceiver. The last UTP port (i.e., Port 16 or Port 24) uses a cascade switch to support both crossover and straight-thru cable wiring for uplinking to another 10BASE-T hub.
The EtheRx models can also be stacked up to five hubs using the stacking cable (provided) expanding your network to a maximum of 80 or 120 UTP ports (depending on the model) as a single repeater unit. The EtheRx hubs can be used on desktop or 19-inch rack-mount installations (mounting hardware included). The front panel includes pull handles for rack-mounting and a variety of diagnostic LEDs including: Power, five levels of Utilization and Collision status, AUI, BNC, and UTP port LEDs which display Link, Activity and Partition status.
