1. Introduction This guide covers the product information and installation information for two dual speed Fast Ethernet hubs. One is KF-16M which provides 16 dual-speed twisted-pair (TP) ports. The other is KF-16MS which provides 16 dual-speed TP ports and one internal 10M-to-100M switch for bridging the 10Mbps network and 100M network in the hub.
Both hubs also feature cascade connectors (two for KF-16M, one for KF-16MS) on the rear for cascading one hub to another in a hub stack. Up to four hubs can be cascaded in one stack. A hub stack can be treated as a single hub which gives a total of 64 dual-speed TP ports with only one hop count.
1.2 Dual-speed Hub Technology Dual-speed hub is designed to support connections with different speeds in the same hub. It makes a network planning simpler, especially when an environment is containing 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Eth- ernet technologies.
KF-16MS is equipped with an internal 10M-to-100M switch function to bridge the traffics between 10Mbps segment and 100Mbps segment as follows: Figure 1-3 Dual-speed Hub with Built-in 10/100 Switch The 10M-to-100M switch can perform packet forwarding from one seg- ment to another at wire speed.

2. Installing the Dual-speed Hub The hub is designed to operate in workgroup environments without a complicated configuration procedure. It also features an auto-select 100- 240V, 50/60Hz power supply unit, which works in most countries around the world.
Rack Mounting For mounting the hub into a 19-inch rack, a pair of mounting brackets is included in the pack. Figure 2-2 Install Rack Mount Brackets Install the hub into a 19-inch rack as illustrated i.

• 1X - 16X RJ-45 Connectors MDI-X jacks for Port #1 - Port #16 respectively • 16I RJ-45 Connector MDI-I jack for Port #16 • Diagnostic LED indicators The indicators provide the operating status of the hub and the network ports.
2.4 Cascading Multiple Hubs More than one hub can be cascaded together to be a hub stack using the cascade cable supplied with the hub. Two cascade connectors are lo- cated on the rear of the hub and labeled IN and OUT respectively for KF-16M. For KF-16MS, only IN cascade connector is provided.
When cascading more than two hubs, follow the IN-to-OUTdaisy-chain rule as above to cascade all hubs sequentially. Up to four hubs can be cascaded in a stack. Figure 2-6 Cascading Four Hubs in One Stack Only one KF-16MS is needed in one stack if a bridge is required to connect the 10M network and the 100M network in a hub stack.
3. Making Network Connections 3.1 Dual-speed Twisted-pair Ports Figure 3-1 16 Dual-speed TP Ports The hub provides 16 dual-speed TP ports. Each can support one con- nection to either a 10BASE-T Ethernet device or a 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet device using 2-pair UTP cable.
UTP Cables For connecting to an 10BASE-T Ethernet device, a 2-pair Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable can be used. For connecting to a 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet device, only 2-pair Category 5 UTP cable can be used.
Connecting to a Computer The RJ-45 connectors labeled 1X to 16X can be used for connecting to the network adapter installed in a computer. The network adapter can be a 10BASE-T adapter, a 100BASE-TX adapter, or a dual-speed NWay adapter.
Connecting to a 100BASE-TX Hub Since the KF-16M and KF-16MS hubs are designed to comply with IEEE 802.3u Class II repeater specifications, each hub can support one connection to another 100BASE-TX Class II hub only. It is recommended to preserve Port #16 as a uplink port for connecting to another hub (or a hub stack) via a UTP cable.
3.2 Hub Stack Connection A hub stack composed of multiple hubs (up to four) cascaded together as the instruction in section 2.4 can be treated as a single dual-speed hub which provides up to 64 dual-speed ports.
4. LED Indicators 4.1 LED Panel The hub provides comprehensive LED indicators for diagnosing and monitoring the operation of the unit as illustrated below: Figure 4-1 LED Indicators 4.2 Interpretation Power LED indicates the status of the power supplied to the hub.
Collision 100 : there are collisions occurred on the shared 10M segment. Blink There are collisions on the segment. Off No collision occurs on the segment.
