KNE24TP/RS User’s Guide - Rev. A01 Kingston Technology Company
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.
