Up-Link or “Cross-over” Switch (On the RJ-45 port)
Magnum 14E Media Converters are equipped with an up-link slide switch to
accommodate switch- or repeater-to-converter connections without a special cross-over cable.
When set to the straight position (=), the Magnum 14E Media Converter is wired for normal
twisted pair connection to a user node device. When set to the cross-over position (X), the
Media Converter is wired with cross-over functionality for direct up-link to a network hub or
switch.
See Figure 4.4 below for the location of the switch on the Magnum 14E Media
Converter unit.
