The Fast EtheRx Switch uses a packet-forwarding method called Store-and- Forward, which minimizes the re-transmission of faulty data packets. This means that the Fast EtheRx Switch can store the incoming frame in an internal buffer and check the packet for errors before sending it out to the destination port.
KNS800/WG Front Panel Power LED The PWR LED indicates the power status of the Fast EtheRx Switch. The LED will light up steady green when the AC power cord is connected to the unit from a power source. 100TX Speed Detection LED The 100TX LED will automatically light up when 100Mbps operation is detected.
Cascade Switch The cascade position marked “ KNS500/WG or port 8 on the KNS800/WG) as 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.
MDI-X port, which implements the crossover internally. Port 1 through port 4 on the KNS500/WG, and port 1 through port 7 on the KNS800/WG, like all normal hub ports, are configured MDI-X. The last UTP port, port 5 on the KNS500/WG, or port 8 on the KNS800/WG, supports both port configurations, MDI and MDI-X.
100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T connections and half- or full-duplex mode operation. All ports, like all normal switch ports, are generally configured as MDI-X. However, the last UTP port (port 5 on the KNS500/WG or port 8 on the KNS800/WG) supports both MDI-X and MDI port configuration. Please refer to Cascade Switch on page 6.
By default, all repeating and switched UTP ports are generally configured as MDI-X, unless otherwise specified. The last UTP port (port 5 on the KNS500/WG and port 8 on the KNS800/WG) is linked to a cascade switch that allows it to support UTP cabling in the straight-through (MDI) and crossover (MDI-X) wiring configuration.

Ethernet packets. It repeats incoming signals to all other ports on the device. Like a repeater, a switch can also extend the diameter of a network. However, a switch can also extend the collision domain of a network, like bridging a 10Mbps Ethernet LAN with a 100Mbps Fast Ethernet LAN.
