knowledge of networking principles and architecture and is familiar with 
network systems in general. 

 

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Kingston Pro-Series

 19-inch 

rack-mount, stackable 10BASE-T Ethernet Hub. There are two models: the 
KNE16TP/RS and KNE24TP/RS, 16-Port and 24-Port Ethernet hubs, 
respectively. The Pro-Series models offer several new enhancements. The 
Stack-n-Play

 feature allows for easy installation without the need to configure 

ID switches. The Hot-Stack

 feature allows adding new hubs without powering 

down. The Smart Monitor

 feature offers network traffic monitoring through a 

bar-graph LED display. 

 

The EtheRx hubs provide sixteen (16) or twenty-four (24) UTP (Unshielded 
Twisted-Pair) ports for 10BASE-T Ethernet connections, one BNC port for 
10BASE2 thin Ethernet connection, and one AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) 
port for either 10BASE2 Cheapernet, 10BASE5 thick Ethernet, 10BASE-T, 
10BASE-FL, or FOIRL (Fiber Optic Inter Repeater Link) segment using a 
proper external transceiver. The last UTP port (i.e., Port 16 or Port 24) uses a 
cascade switch to support both crossover and straight-thru cable wiring for 
uplinking to another 10BASE-T hub. 

 

The EtheRx models can also be stacked up to five hubs using the stacking 
cable (provided) expanding your network to a maximum of 80 or 120 UTP 
ports (depending on the model) as a single repeater unit. The EtheRx hubs can 
be used on desktop or 19-inch rack-mount installations (mounting hardware 
included). The front panel includes pull handles for rack-mounting and a 
variety of diagnostic LEDs including: Power, five levels of Utilization and 
Collision status, AUI, BNC, and UTP port LEDs which display Link, Activity 
and Partition status.
