Congratulations on the purchase of your Kingston Fast EtheRx Stackable
10/100TX Rack-Mountable Dual Speed hub. The KND2415TX is a full
19” rack-mount unit. The Fast EtheRx Stackable 10/100TX Dual-Speed
hub conforms to IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3i 10BASE-T, and
IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD standards. A maximum of four KND2415TX units
can be stacked together.
IMPORTANT: The KND2415TX can only be stacked with other
KND2415TX units. Stacking the unit with any other model hub may
cause damage to the units.
For ease of installation, the Fast EtheRx Stackable Dual Speed hub offers
twenty-four (24) UTP ports that auto-negotiate 10/100Mbps operation
and an uplink port that allows the last UTP port on the hub to support
both crossover and straight-through cabling. Ideal for inter-connecting
10BASE-T Ethernet networks with 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks,
the Fast EtheRx Dual-speed hubs can also be used as simple stand-alone
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX repeaters. For easy trouble-shooting, the
front panel includes a variety of diagnostic LEDs such as Power, Collision
for 10Mbps and 100Mbps, 100TX, Link, and Activity status.
