10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The TN-G6512 Series has 12 10/100/1000BaseT(X) Ethernet ports (M12
X-coded 8-pin female connector). The 10/100/1000TX ports located on
the front panel of the TN-G6512 Series are used to connect to
Ethernet-enabled devices. Most users configure these ports for Auto
MDI/MDI-X mode, in which case the port’s pinouts are adjusted
automatically depending on the type of Ethernet cable used
(straight-through or cross-over), and the type of device (NIC-type or
HUB/Switch-type) connected to the port.
In what follows, we give pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X
(HUB/Switch-type) ports. We also give cable wiring diagrams for
straight-through and cross-over Ethernet cables.
