Connecting an electrical Ethernet interface
Step1
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to an electrical Ethernet interface on the device and the
other end to the Ethernet interface on the peer device. Because a 10Base
TX/1000Base-T fixed electrical Ethernet interface supports MDI/MDI
use a straight-through cable or crossover cable to connect the interface.
