KTI Networks KSD-800M Introduction, Model series 10/100TX TP Ports 100FX fiber ports, Management

1. Introduction

The KSD-800M series are managed 8-port full wire speed Fast Ethernet switches for industrial appli- cations. Depending on the fiber connectivity, the series is provided in three types of configuration as follows:

Model series	10/100TX TP Ports	100FX fiber ports
800M	8 ports	-
800M-1xxx	8 ports	1 port
800M-2xxx	8 ports	2 ports

The switches provide the following advantages:

Plug and Play

The switches provide eight 10/100TX copper ports for connections to Ethernet devices or 100Mbps Fast Ethernet devices. With the featured auto-negotiation function, the switches can detect and config- ure the connection speed and duplex automatically. The switches also provide auto MDI/MDI-X func- tion, which can detect the connected cable and switch the transmission wire pair and receiving pair automatically. This auto-crossover function can simplify the type of network cables used.

Auto Copper/Fiber Connections

The 100FX fiber ports can support 100Mbps fiber connection using optic fiber cable and extend a network connection up to several kilometers via fiber cables. The 100TX ports are designed to share the same switched ports with the associated 10/100TX copper ports. It means the switched port sup- ports dual network media types, either copper cable or fiber cable and detect link and select the media type automatically.

Management

The switches are embedded with microprocessor which provides management functions for advanced network functions including Port Control, Quality of Service, and Virtual LAN functions. The manage- ment can be performed via SNMP protocol, Telnet interface and Web based interface over TCP/IP network.
