Page 6: Introduction
1. Introduction KF-8D dual-speed Fast Ethernet/Ethernet hub is designed to allow easy and flexible migration from 10Mbps Ethernet to 100Mbps Fast Ethernet. The hub complies with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u repeater specifications and supports 10Mbps and 100Mbps con- nectivity over UTP cabling in the same hub. The hub provides 8 dual-speed TP ports. -
Page 7: Features
Features • Complies with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u standard for Ethernet/Class II Fast Ethernet repeater • Provides a configuration switch (10M/100M/AUTO) to set all 8 TP ports as 10BASE-T ports, 100BASE-TX ports or 10/100 auto-sensing ports. • In AUTO mode, each TP port can support either an Ethernet 10Mbps connection or a Fast Ethernet 100Mbps connection with auto-sensing the connection speed. -
Page 8: Dual-Speed Hub Technology
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, espe- cially when an environment is containing 10Mbps Ethernet and 100Mbps Fast Ethernet technologies. It also allows a smooth mi- gration from an Ethernet network to a Fast Ethernet network. -
Page 9: Chapter 2 Installation Unpacking
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 • One wall mount kit Checking AC Power 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 volt- age in your area. -
Page 10: Mounting The Hub
The power socket for the AC power adapter is located on the rear of the hub as shown below: Mounting the Hub The hub can be placed on a desktop as a stand-alone unit. It also can be mounted on a wall. The following procedure describes how to mount the hub onto a wallboard or wood (a stud, heavy wooden paneling, etc.) using the wall mount kit supplied in the hub package: 1. - Page 11 3. Place the hub against the wall so that the mount bracket fits into the slot bracket on the back of the hub. 4. Slide the hub down until it hangs on the mount bracket.

Page 12: Chapter 3 Making Network Connections Network Connectors And Rear Switch
3. Making Network Connections Network Connectors and Rear Switch The hub provides 8 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. One configuration switch is located on the rear panel. -
Page 13: Connectors
RJ-45 Connectors Each of Port #1 to Port #7 provides one RJ-45 connector, which are implemented as MDI-X jack. An MDI-X jack is designed with internal crossover function. The function allows a connection to a computer using straight-through UTP cable. The Port #8 provides one MDI-X RJ-45 connector and one MDI-I RJ-45 connector. -
Page 14: Connecting To Computers
Connecting to Computers The RJ-45 connectors labeled 1X to 8X 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 10/100 dual-speed NWay adapter. The following table lists the cables used for connecting to different network adapters: Adapter connected UTP cable used... -
Page 15: Connecting To Hubs
Cat. 5 5 meters Connecting to 10M Ethernet Hubs KF-8D can support up to eight 10M Ethernet hub connections. The Ethernet connection rules should be followed as follows: 1. Between any two end-nodes in a collision domain, there may be up to five cable segments and four intermediate repeaters (hubs or other repeaters). - Page 16 Connecting to a Fast Ethernet Hub Since the KF-8D is designed to comply with IEEE 802.3u Class II repeater specifications, it can support one connection to another 100BASE-TX Class II hub. The connection rules are: 1. The other hub which is connected to KF-8D must comply with IEEE 802.3u Class II repeater specifications.
