supplied by the customer.
Ethernet Switches and Hubs
Kalypso components rely primarily on Ethernet switches for LAN inter-
connects. Remote Auxiliary panels may be connected directly to the
Kalypso switch, or through an Ethernet hub. A hub is required only if there
is a need to exceed 100 m (328 ft) between the Main panel and Video Pro-
cessor frame (refer to
). If a hub is used, connect hub
to switch via the Uplink port, or through a peer-to-peer (crossover) cable.
Reserve a port on Kalypso’s Ethernet switch if you will be utilizing an
existing hub or switch (e.g., Omnibus LAN) (see
).
Note
The number and type of components in your Kalypso system determines the
size of the switch (number of ports) required. Refer to the following examples
of system topography and the accompanying worksheet to determine the
number of ports required for your system.

Use a hub when necessary to exceed maximum cable runs.
100Base-T: 100 m (328 ft) maximum. 10Base-T: 300 m (984 ft) maximum.
Switch
Speed
Dual: 10 and 100 Mb
Ports
RJ-45 auto-negotiating 10/100 Mb; number of ports required is dependent upon system size.
Unmanaged
Recommended. Configuration is not required, but does not provide remote monitoring capa-
bility.
Managed
May be used. Requires configuration, but offers remote monitoring capability.
