4 Design Features Compliance Standards The Fast EtheRx Switch complies with the 10/100Mbps functions as defined by IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3i 10BASE-T, and IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD Ethernet standards. Design Features Switching Function The Fast EtheRx Switch is basically designed to bridge Standard 10BASE-T Ethernet networks to 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks and to segment 10Mbps or 100Mbps network segments.
Hardware Installation 5 Hardware Installation Before you begin installing network cables, please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with Fast EtheRx Switch. The functions on the front and rear panels are illustrated in the following sections. 100TX Speed Detection LED Power LED Link / RX (Receive) LED TX (Transmit) LED Full-Duplex / Collision LED 10/100BASE-TX UTP Ports Fig. 1-KNS800/R Front Panel Front Panel Power LED The PWR LED indicates the power status of the Fast EtheRx switch.
6 Front Panel 3. Make sure the cable is wired properly and connected on both ends. 4. Make sure the correct cable type has been selected. 5. If steps 1 through 4 are correct, please check the cable, as it may be defective or wired incorrectly. Replace the cable and try again. Please refer to Appendix A for Pin Assignments and Appendix B for Cabling Guidelines. TX LED (Model KNS800/R Only) The TX LED displays a flashing green light when data is transmitted.
Front Panel 7 The following diagrams show the relationship between cable type and which UTP port connector to use. To verify the pin wiring of your UTP cable, see “Appendix A Pin Assignments.” Using a Straight-Through Cable PORT 8 MDI-X MDI PORT 8 Use the MDI-X port when connecting to a network card or other MDI device. MDI-X MDI Use the MDI port when connecting to a hub or other MDI-X device.

If the PWR LED does not light up when the unit is turned on, please check the following: 1. Try a different AC power outlet. 2. Check the external fuse located in the back of the unit (below the AC power connector.

10 Appendix A Pin Assignments Appendix A Pin Assignments UTP Port Pin Assignments The UTP ports use RJ-45 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. Connector pin numbers and pin wiring assignments are listed below in Figure A-1 and Table A-1, respectively. Twisted-Pair cables can be wired with either straightthrough or crossover pin assignments. Both wiring schemes are mentioned in "Appendix B Cabling Guidelines" for reference in creating a twisted-pair cable.
Appendix B Cabling Guidelines Appendix B 11 Cabling Guidelines UTP Cable Type When installing network cables, the following table shows appropriate cabling guidelines for 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet architecture. Cabling Components: 100BASE-TX Trunk and Patch Cable Type: 4-Pair 100Ω UTP CAT 5 (only 2 pairs used) Modular Plug: 8-Pin RJ-45 CAT 5 only Patch Panel: 8-Pin RJ-45 CAT 5 only Table B-1 Network Cable Guidelines (NOTE: All UTP cables come in both solid and stranded filament.
12 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/TIA wiring standards.
Appendix B Cabling Guidelines 13 UTP Cable Rating Codes UTP cables meet different UL-NEC requirements based mostly 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 Protection Association (NFPA), details advisory safety considerations for electrical wiring. NEC Article 800 Communications Cables are manufactured to meet these different cable types. 1.

16 Appendix D Appendix D Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions What is a switch and what does it do? Switching hubs are low-latency devices that allow you to maximize the bandwidth of a network using concurrent access within the unit. Switches allow you to segment LANs, connect LANs of different speeds, or extend the collision domain of an existing LAN.
Appendix D Frequently Asked Questions 17 Category 5 Compliance vs. Category 5 Performance? Using CAT 5 cabling in your network installation does not necessarily achieve full Category 5 performance. To achieve any category-rated performance, make sure all cabling components, including modular plugs, trunk cables, and patch panels, are at least of the minimum category required.
18 Appendix E Appendix E Mounting Templates Mounting Templates The Fast EtheRx Switch can be stationed on a flat surface using the four rubber feet provided, or mounted in a standard 19” rack by using the mounting brackets and 4 thumb screws provided with the unit. Rubber Feet for Desktops The Fast EtheRx Switch comes with rubber feet that may be applied to the bottom of the unit for desktop surface installations. The 4 rubber feet have peeloff adhesive backing.
