NOTE

: When using the uplink port to connect to another hub, use straight-through

(normal) twisted-pair cable. This cable is the same as that used for connecting the

hub to a workstation. For more information, see “Appendix B - Cable Pin

Assignments.”

Using Crossover  Twisted-Pair Cable

With a crossover twisted-pair cable, you can connect the 1017A/B hub to a
compatible hub using any available RJ-45 port. Note that you should not enable
the uplink function when you use a crossover cable to connect Port 16 to a
compatible hub.
