Straight-Through Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and only one of the ports has
an internal crossover (MDI-X), the two pairs of wires must be
straight-through. (When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on
this switch, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to
connect to any device type.)
We recommend connecting all four wire pairs as shown in the following
diagram to ease an upgrade to Gigabit Ethernet.
Figure B-2 Straight-through Wiring
Crossover Wiring
If the twisted-pair cable is to join two ports and either both ports are
labeled with an “X” (MDI-X) or neither port is labeled with an “X”
(MDI), a crossover must be implemented in the wiring. (When
auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on this switch, you can use
either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.)
We recommend connecting all four wire pairs as shown in the following
diagram to ease an upgrade to Gigabit Ethernet.
