2.1 LAN Cables
In your STPro package a full wired straightthrough RJ45/RJ45
cable, further referred to as LAN cable is included.
You can use LAN cables other than the one provided in the box,
e.g. crossover LAN cables. However, make sure that these have
the correct layout.
See section B.6 for more information on how to identify
straightthrough and crossover LAN cables.
Note : As the included LAN cable is fully wired, it can also be used for
connecting the STPro 's ATMF25.6 port.
Determine the LAN cable type from the following table:
