Kingston EtheRx Hub

Kingston EtheRx Hub ... switching between 100Mbps and 10Mbps networks thus allowing 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks to communicate with 10BASE-T Ethernet networks. The Fast EtheRx 10/100TX Workgroup Fast Ethernet Switch can also be used to segment 10Mbps or 100Mbps networks. The Fast EtheRx 10/100TX Workgroup Fast Ethernet Switch complies with IEEE 802.3u 100BASE-TX, IEEE 802.3i 10BASE-T, and IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD Ethernet Standards. The Fast EtheRx 10/100TX Workgroup Fast Ethernet Switch supports both half and full duplex flow control to reduce the risk of data loss at congested ports. When a port is operating in half-duplex mode, the Fast EtheRx 10/100TX Workgroup Fast Ethernet Switch implements a collision-based backpressure flow control mechanism. When a port is operating in full-duplex mode, the Fast EtheRx 10/100TX Workgroup Fast Ethernet Switch implements the IEEE 802.3x flow control mechanism. The Fast EtheRx 10/100TX Workgroup Fast Ethernet Switch may be used in both standard desktop and workgroup installations and requires no hardware or software configuration. To facilitate fast and easy installation and network configuration, the last UTP port has a cascade switch that supports UTP cabling in the straight through and/or crossover wiring configurations. For easy recognition of network status and troubleshooting, the front panel includes a variety of diagnostic LEDs including Power, 100TX Speed Detection, Link, Activity, Collision, and Full-Duplex status.

The KNE120TX supports a UTP (Unshielded Twisted-Pair) connection designed for 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T networks. The Fast EtheRx PCI adapter auto-negotiates 10/100Mbps and half- or full-duplex mode operation. Dynamically configured by the computer system's BIOS, there are no hardware jumpers or switches that need to be configured. The Wake On LAN feature allows a computer to be powered on from a remote station over the network for easy after hours maintenance. The Fast EtheRx PCI Fast Ethernet adapter is a 32-bit high performance bus-mastering PCI adapter that can transfer up to 132 MB/sec across the PCI bus. It complies with PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.1, IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3i 10BASE-T, and IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD standards. For easy recognition of network status and trouble-shooting, the KNE120TX includes a variety of diagnostic LEDs including 100 Mbps Link, 10 Mbps Link, and Activity.
