Introduction
Intended Audience: This manual assumes that the user has a general working knowledge
of networking principles and is familiar with network systems in general.
Congratulations on the purchase of your Kingston Fast EtheRx Stackable 10/100TX
Rack-Mountable Dual Speed hub. There are three models available: KND810TX (8-port
model), KND1610TX (16-port model) KND2410TX (24-port model). The KND810TX
and KND1610TX can be used on a desktop or standard 19” rack-mount installation,
using the extended mounting brackets provided with the unit. The KND2410TX is a full
19” rack-mount unit. The Fast EtheRx Stackable 10/100TX Dual-Speed hubs conform to
IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3i 10BASE-T, and IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD
standards. Using any combination of the dual-speed hubs, you can stack up to a
maximum of four hubs.
For ease of installation, the Fast EtheRx Stackable Dual Speed hubs offer eight (8),
sixteen (16), or 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. By default port 7 & 8 (KND810TX & KND1610TX) or port 23
& 24 (KND2410TX) are set for auto-negotiation but can be manually configured for
either 10Mbps or 100Mbps operation, using the dip switches located on the back of the
unit. 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.
For the remainder of this manual, the Fast EtheRx Stackable 10/100TX Dual-Speed hubs
will be referred to collectively as the Fast EtheRx Dual-Speed hubs:
KND810TX - Fast EtheRx Stackable 8-port Rack-mountable dual-speed hub
KND1610TX - Fast EtheRx Stackable 16-port Rack-mountable dual-speed hub
KND2410TX - Fast EtheRx Stackable 24-port Rack-mountable dual-speed hub
