Determining which cable to use

Different switch and repeater manufacturers implement their port configurations differently. The following guidelines are based on the Express 10/100 Switch, the Intel Express 100BASE-TX Stackable Hub (repeater) and the EtherExpress™ family of adapters (server or workstation). These apply to the majority of switches and hubs and all servers or workstations:

For this connection

Use this cable

Switch to repeater

Crossover

Switch to server or workstation

Straight-through

Switch to switch

Crossover

Repeater to server or workstation

Straight-through

Port 1 on the switch has both an MDI and MDI-X connector. If you’re not seeing a link on a port, try plugging into each of the port 1 connectors.
