Crossover or straight through wiring
There are different types of Ethernet cables, depending on the application. In a straight
through cable, both cable ends have T568A plugs or both ends have T568B plugs. In a
crossover cable, one end has a T568A plug and the other end a T568B plug.
•
Use straight through wiring if you connect the Gateway to a switch, hub or router (see
Figure 3.8 on page 25).
•
Use crossover wiring if you connect the Gateway directly to another ethernet device
(e.g. a PC) without a switch, hub or router (see Figure 3.8 on page 25).

Note!
Latest network interface cards and hub/switch/router versions can be able to automatically
adjust to the cable version used, also if this is not the applicable one according to the
guidelines given in this manual.
