Introduction - KTI Networks KGS-810F User Manual

1. Introduction

The KGS-810F is a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch which is featured with the following switched ports:
Seven 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit copper ports
One combo port - 10/100/1000Mbps copper & 1000Base-X SFP
and the following advantages in a small footprint box:
Plug and Play
The switch is shipped with factory default configuration which behaves like an unmanaged Gigabit switch for
workgroup. It provides eight 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports for connections to Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and
Gigabit Ethernet devices. With the featured auto-negotiation function, the switch can detect and configure the
connection speed and duplex automatically. The switch also provides auto MDI/MDI-X function, which can
detect the connected cable and switch the transmission wire pair and receiving pair automatically. This
auto-crossover function can simplify the type of network cables used.
Fiber Connectivity
The combo port provides one 1000M SFP slot, which can be installed with an optional SFP optical fiber
transceiver to support one Gigabit 1000Base-X fiber connection when needed.
Web Management
The switch is embedded with an Http server which provides management functions for advanced network
functions including Port Control, Quality of Service, and Virtual LAN functions. The management can be
performed via Web browser based interface over TCP/IP network.
Quality of Service
For advanced application, the switch is featured with powerful Quality of Service (QoS) function which can
classify the priority for received network frames based on the ingress port and frame contents. Furthermore,
many service priority policies can be configured for egress operation in per-port basis.
Virtual LAN (VLAN)
For increasing Tagged VLAN applications, the switch is also featured with powerful VLAN function to fulfill
the up-to-date VLAN requirements. The switch supports both port-based VLAN and tagged VLAN in per-port
basis.
802.1x Authentication
IEEE 802.1X port-based network access control function provide a means of authenticating and authorizing
devices attached to the switched port that has point-to-point connection characteristics, and of preventing
access to that port in cases in which the authentication and authorization process fails.
