2.4.2 Connecting iServer to PC/Hub/Switch/Router
The iServer’s Ethernet interface can automatically detect the Rx and Tx lines on a twisted pair Ethernet cable (MDI/MDIX Auto Cross). Therefore, to connect an iServer to a PC/Hub/Switch/Router, either a
On certain devices (like iServer), it is possible for the hardware to automatically correct errors in cable selection, making the distinction between a “straight- through” cable and a
