Design Features
3
Design Features
The Fast EtheRx dual-speed hub complies with the full set of repeater
basic functions as dened by IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3i
10BASE-T, and IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD standards.
Repeater Functions
If any single port senses the start of a valid packet on its receiving line, the
dual-speed hub will re-transmit the received data to all other ports on the
network. The re-transmission of packets complies with the IEEE 802.3
specication in terms of preamble structure, voltage amplitude, and timing
characteristics.
Auto-Negotiation
Auto-Negotiation provides the means of automatically establishing a link
by detecting the link capabilities of the connected device on the network
to select the best operational mode available (i.e. 10/100Mbps selection)
Receive Jabber Protection
The dual-speed hub uses a Receive Jabber Protection scheme to ensure
that the network is not disabled due to reception of excessively long data
packets.
Collision-Handling
The dual-speed hub will detect and respond to collision conditions as
outlined in the IEEE 802.3 specications.
Error-Handling
With 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet, the new error-handling feature prevents
sub-standard links from generating streams of false carrier and interfering
with other links.
Automatic Port Partitioning / Reconnection
If any of the ports on the dual-speed hub experience excessive collisions, or
faulty conditions, that particular port can be partitioned. Once partitioned,
the hub will continue to monitor that port. If the error conditions have
been corrected or a good data packet is received or transmitted without a
collision, the hub will automatically reconnect that port to the network.

Hardware Installation
Hardware Installation
Before you begin installing network cables, please take a few minutes to familiarize
yourself with the dual-speed hub. See the diagram below:
Front Panel
Fig. 3-1 Front Panel
Power LED
The green LED indicates the power status. The LED will light up when the AC
power connector is properly connected to a power source.
Collision LEDs
There are two (2) separate collision LEDs for both 10Mbps and 100Mbps
segments. If a collision is detected on a 10Mbps segment, the “10” LED will ash
amber. If a collision is detected on a 100Mbps segment, the “100” LED will ash
amber. Collisions occur when 2 or more ports receive data simultaneously
100TX (Speed-Detection) LEDs
The 100TX LED lights up when 100Mbps operation is detected. The 100TX LED
will not light up if 10Mbps operation is detected.
Link / Activity LEDs
The LINK / ACTIVITY LEDs service both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX
operation. A steady green light indicates that a good link has been established. A
ashing green light indicates that data is being received.
If the Link LED does not display a steady green link light, please check the
following:
1. Make sure the power is turned on for both the PC and EtheRx hub.
2. Verify that the correct network drivers have been loaded on the PC. Some
network adapters require the drivers to be loaded to establish a proper link.
3. Make sure the correct cable type is selected.

4. Make sure the cable is wired properly and connected on both ends.
5. If steps 1 through 4 are correct, the cable may be defective or not wired
correctly. Please refer to Appendix A for pin assignments and Appendix B
for cabling guidelines.
10/100TX UTP Ports
The twenty-four (24) 10/100TX UTP ports auto-negotiate both 10BASE-T and
100BASE-TX connections. . All ports like all normal hub ports are congured as
MDI-X. However, port 24, supports both MDI-X and MDI port conguration.
Uplink Port
The uplink port provides cabling exibility on UTP port 24 for connecting to a
workstation NIC or cascading to another hub. Although these ports have two (2)
UTP connections, MDI and MDI-X, only one port may be used.
Notes on MDI and MDI-X Ports
MDI (Media Dependent Interface) is the standard that denes the mechanical and
electrical conguration of a UTP port. For any two devices to communicate with
each other, the transmitter of one device must be connected to the receiver of the
other device.

to stack up to a maximum of four hubs.
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.
Follow the directions below on stacking these hubs together:
1. Power down the Fast EtheRx hub(s).
2. Locate the 50-pin shielded stacking cable included with your package
contents.
3. Plug one end of the cable into the port labeled, “Stack-Out” on the rst
hub.
4. Plug the other end of the cable into the “Stack-In” port on the second hub.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for stacking up to a maximum of four (4) hubs.
Kingston’s Stack-n-Play™ feature offers greater scalabilty to add UTP ports
without the need to congure ID or termination switches. When congured as
a stack, the Fast EtheRx stackable hubs are recognized as a single unit on the
network. By stacking hubs together, you can expand the total number of UTP ports
up to 96 ports.

Appendix B Cabling Guidelines
UTP Cable Type
When installing network cables, the following table shows appropriate cabling
guidelines for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet architecture.
Table B-1 Network Cable Guidelines
(NOTE: All UTP cables come in both solid and stranded lament. Solid
lament cables are more rigid and usually intended for trunk cabling.
Stranded lament cables are more pliable and generally targeted for patch
cables. For proper termination, use the correct RJ-45 connector, as they
differ for each type of cable.)
UTP Cable Wiring
UTP cables are wired based on one of two standard pin congurations: Straight-
Through and Cross-Over. 100BASE-TX uses only Category-5 UTP cables with
four pairs of wire as illustrated below in Tables B-2 and B-3.

Appendix B Cabling Guidelines
UTP Cable Wiring Standards
There are two governmental agencies: the Electronic Industry Association (EIA)
and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), which set the standard
for all cable wiring requirements for commercial buildings.
With the advent of 100Mb/s networking products, it is best to use higher quality
CAT 5 cables like Belden or Helix as well as CAT 5-compliant patch panels, patch
cables, and connectors while following the EIA/TIAwiring standards. 100 W UTP
CAT 5 type cables use 4-pair UTP wiring.
Refer to the illustrations below for 4-pair wiring using either T568A (Fig. B-1) or
T568B (Fig. B-2) wiring standards. Both T568A and T568B wiring is compatible
with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX and require no special congurations, but for
premise wiring, stick to one wiring standard. Mixing T568A and T568B wiring
schemes may cause or lead to potential problems.

UTP Cable Rating Codes
UTP cables meet different UL-NEC requirements based on cable-jacket quality.
Below is an explanation of the rating codes for each cable type.
UL – The National Electrical Code (NEC), published by the National Fire
ProtectionAssociation (NFPA), details advisory safety considerations for electrical
wiring. NEC Article 800 Communications Cables are manufactured to meet these
different cable types.
1. CMP – Cables meeting type CMP requirements are suitable for installation in
ducts and plenums without the use of conduit. These cables are designed for re
resistance and low-smoke producing characteristics.
2. CMR – Riser type cables are engineered to prevent the spread of re from oor
to oor and are suitable for vertical shaft applications.
3. CM – Cables for general building wiring. CM cables are used in areas other
than plenums and risers. These cables are resistant to the spread of re and pass
the UL 1581Vertical Tray Flame Test.
4. MP, MPR & MPP – Within Article 800, the Multi-purpose Cables Category
allows conditional substitutions between different cable types & are restricted
by number, AWG size and stranding of the cable conductors.
Terms You Should Be Familiar With
1. BACKBONE WIRING – The physical/electrical interconnections between
telecommunications closets and equipment rooms.
2. COMPLIANCE – A wiring device that meets all characteristics of a standard
is said to be in compliance with that standard.
3. PREMISE WIRING – The entire wiring system on the premises especially
the supporting wiring that connects the communications outlets to the network
interface jack.
4. NEAR-END CROSSTALK (NEXT) – In wires packed together within a
cable, the signals generated at one end of the link can ush out the weaker
signals coming back from the recipient.

ꢀꢀ
Class : in a maximum length segment topology, two Class
repeaters
may exist between any two nodes within a single collision domain.
Will 100BASE-TX run on Category 3 cable?
No! Category 3 (CAT 3) cabling even in short lengths generates too much near
end crosstalk for 100BASE-TX networks. The IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast
Ethernet standard requires Category 5 100 W UTP or 100 W STP which complies
with ISO/IEC 11801:1995.
What is Category 5?
Category 5 (CAT 5) is a further extension of the EIA/TIA-568 cabling system to
100 MHz. Category 5 components (i.e., UTP trunk and patch cables, modular plug,
and patch panel, etc.) are dened by EIA/TIA-568, but with the characterizations
extended to 100 MHz by TSB-36 and TSB-40. The cable grades are categorized as
follows:
• Category 3: up to 16 MHz
• Category 4: up to 20 MHz.
• Category 5: up to 100 MHz.
Category 5 Compliance vs. Category 5 Performance?
Having CAT 5 components in your network installation does not necessarily achieve full
Category 5 performance. To achieve any category-rated performance, make sure all cabling
components are at least of the minimum category required.
To achieve full CAT 5 performance, all components must be CAT 5 compliant and terminated
properly according to EIA/TIA-568 TSB-36 and TSB-40 guidelines.

Appendix D Commonly Asked Questions
What are the Guidelines for Proper Termination?
It is important to maintain the twists of the cable as close to the termination on the outlet
as possible, to avoid NEXT (Near End Cross Talk) and to maintain the transmissions
characteristics of the Category. Category specications require that pair twisting be
maintained to within the following distances from the outlet termination:
•
•
•
Category 3 maximum allowed untwisting: 3 inches
Category 4 maximum allowed untwisting: 1 inch
Category 5 maximum allowed untwisting: 1/2 inch
Can I mix CAT 3 and CAT 5 cabling in the same building?
Yes, but keep in mind, you will not have CAT 5 performance. It is a good idea to keep the
lines separated when installing any new lines. Use CAT 5 UTP cabling only.
Can a Four-Pair CAT 5 cable support two 100BASE-TX
devices?
Although only two pairs are used in the standard four-pair CAT 5 UTP cable, it is not
recommended because it exceeds the specications outlined by IEEE 802.3u.
