connection involving a Model DE-816TP or Model DE-824 Ethernet Hub, there is the alternative of using a straight cable.

Internal Crossover Features

The Model DE-816TP Ethernet Hub and DE- 824TP Ethernet Hub feature internal cross-over alternatives for Port 1:

+ Model DE-816TP				Ethernet			Hub
The	port	numbered		as Port 1 is identical with
each	of	the	other	numbered		ports.		But Port	1
is specially equipped with an alternative
connector, labeled				“Uplink.”				The Uplink
connector		is	wired	to	the	same		conductors	as
the Port 1 connector, but with certain pin
positions interchanged to provide a cross-
over, and thus allow use of a							straight cable		to
make a hub-to-hub connection.
Keep	in	mind	that	the	Uplink		connector is not

an independent-port. It is only an alternative connector to Port 1, to facilitate hub-to-hub cabling. Port 1 is fully occupied whenever (1) a hub-to-hub connection is made through its

Uplink connector, or (2) any kind of connection is made directly through the Port 1 connector

Below in this manual, the term “Uplink selected” will mean, as to the Model DE- 816TP Ethernet Hub in question, that the subject connection is made through the Uplink connector
