The RJ-45 ports are configured as media-dependent interface-crossover (MDI-X)
connectors. These ports connect over straight cables to the network interface card
(NIC) in a node or server, similar to a conventional Ethernet repeater hub. If you
are connecting to another Ethernet hub or switch, use a crossover cable unless an
MDI connection exists on the associated port of the attached device.
The BPS2000-4TX MDA can operate at either 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s. The speed is
determined through autonegotiation with its connecting device.
For installation instructions, see “Installing an MDA” on page 363.
