Power LED

The green LED indicates the power status. The LED will light when the AC
power transformer is connected from a power source to the hub.

Stacking Ports (SE models only)

The Stackable hub models (KNE8TP/SE and KNE16TP/SE) include a
“Stack-In” and “Stack-Out” port for stacking up to five (5) SE hubs in any
combination of 8-Port and 16-Port models. Refer to the section, “Stacking
EtheRx SE Hubs” on page 13 for additional information.
