Page 6: Introduction
1. Introduction The Fast Ethernet hub KF-4M provides four Fast Ethernet Twisted- pair (TP) ports. Each port complies with 100BASE-TX standard and is used for connecting to a 100BASE-TX device such as a 100BASE- TX hub or a computer equipped with a 100BASE-TX card. The hub also provides complete diagnostic LED indicators to indicate the ac- tivity status of the hub and network ports. -
Page 7: Features
Features • Complies with IEEE 802.3u Class II repeater specifications • Network ports: 4 100BASE-TX ports ( 5 RJ-45 jacks) • Standard: IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX std. • The hub has an additional RJ-45 jack labeled "4I" for uplink connection to another 100BASE-TX hub with standard straight- through 100BASE-TX cable. -

2. Installation Unpacking Check to see that you have everything before you start the installation. • Installation guide • The hub unit • One AC power adapter for the hub Installation The hub can be placed on a desktop as a stand-alone unit. It also can be mounted on a magnetic-sensitive metal surface with its rubber magnet stand on the hub's bottom. -
Page 9: Checking Ac Power
Checking AC Power One AC power adapter is contained in the hub package. Before you begin the installation, check the AC voltage of your area. The AC power adapter which is used to supply the DC power for the hub should have the AC voltage matching the commercial power voltage in your area. -

3. Making Network Connections Network Connectors The TP ports are located on the front panel. Network Ports Four TP ports are presented by 4 RJ-45 jacks which are labeled "1X", "2X",.., and "4X" respectively. One RJ-45 labeled "4I" next to the "4X"... -
Page 11: Making End Node Connections
Making End Node Connection The "X" type jacks can be used for connecting to end nodes such as computers. A category 5 2-pair straight-through UTP cable must be used for such connections. The maximum distance between the hub and computer is 100 meters. See the following figure: Connecting to computers Making Hub-to-Hub Connection For making a hub-to-hub connection, select one "X"... - Page 12 To make a hub-to-hub connection, the following rules must be fol- lowed: 1. The other hub which is connected to KF-4M must comply with IEEE 802.3u Class II repeater specifications. 2. The cable used for the hub-to-hub connection must be category 5 UTP cable and the maximum distance is 5 meters.

4. Interpreting LED Indicators The following figure shows the locations of the LED indicators: LED Indicators Power LED: indicates the status of the repeater power source. State Indication Interpretation Normal The power of the hub is on. Problem No power is being supplied to the hub. Activity LED: indicates the transmission and receiving activities of the hub. - Page 15 Collision LED: indicates the collision detected by the hub. The LED is normally off and it blinks when there are collisions. State Indication Interpretation Normal No collision Blink Normal There are collisions. Link 1-4 LED: indicates the link status for port #1 to port #4 re- spectively State Indication Interpretation...
