Crossover configuration
Note:
Two consecutive crossovers (for example, a crossover cable and a crossover switch
set to “Crossover”) amount to a straight-through connection.
Setting up a crossover or straight-through connection involves use of an appropriate
cable, or switch. Ethernet cables come in two types: crossover or straight-through.
Some Ethernet hubs may have built-in crossover switches or have one port wired for
crossover connection. Crossover switches allow you to toggle between crossover and
straight-through connections without changing cables.
1.
To set up Ethernet crossover or straight-through operation, determine whether
you have a crossover or straight-through cable installed between the RG2C and
the Ethernet hub.
2.
To switch to the alternate connection, obtain and install the alternate type of cable
between the RG2C and the Ethernet hub. Or, you may flip the crossover switch if
there is one on your Ethernet hub.
