Stacking EtheRx Hubs
The EtheRx hubs use stacking ports located on the rear panel to stack up to five
hubs in any combination of 16-Port KNE16TP/RS and 24-Port KNE24TP/RS
models. Follow the directions below to stack up to five hubs together:
1. Locate the 5.5” shielded stacking cable included with your package
contents.
2. Plug one end of the cable into the port labeled, “Stack-Out” on the
first hub.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into the “Stack-In” port on the second
hub.
4. Connect the AC power cord to each hub, then flip the power switch
to turn on power to the unit.
5. Repeat the process to stack additional hubs up to a maximum of five
(5) hubs.
Kingston’s Stack-n-Play
feature offers greater scalabilty to add UTP ports
without the need to configure ID or termination switches. EtheRx hubs when
stacked together are recognized as a single repeater unit on the network. By
stacking hubs together, you can expand the total number of UTP port
connections from 16 to 80 or from 24 to 120 UTP ports, depending on the
model. A maximum of five (5) Pro-Series hubs can be stacked in any
combination of 16 and 24-Port hub models.
Kingston’s Hot-Stack
feature allows the addition of new hubs to the top or
bottom of a stack without the need to power down the existing hubs.
