TX LED (Model KNS800/R Only)
The TX LED displays a flashing green light when data is transmitted. A flash
may be longer or shorter depending on the length of the data packet being
transmitted.
Full Duplex and Collision LED
The FDX/COLL LED uses a dual color LED to display two functions. A solid
green light indicates that Full-Duplex operation has been detected. A flashing
amber light indicates that a collision has occurred in half-duplex mode. Full-
Duplex mode is auto-negotiated on all UTP ports.
UTP Ports
Depending on the model, the Fast EtheRx Switch has eight (8) or sixteen (16)
10/100Mbps UTP ports that auto-negotiate 10/100BASE-TX connections and
half- or full-duplex mode operation. The last UTP port has two RJ-45 port
connectors for support of UTP cabling in the crossover or straight-through
wiring configuration. Only one of the two ports may be utilized.
The RJ-45 port marked “MDI-X” is internally crossed like all other UTP ports.
By default, all repeater and switched UTP ports are generally configured as
standard MDI-X, or internally crossed ports. With a straight-through cable, this
port can be used for cascading to a standard MDI device, such as a network
adapter or router. With a crossover cable, this port can be used for cascading to
another MDI-X device, such as a hub.
