Auto-crossover Ethernet Ports

All ports are auto-crossover, that is auto-MDIX ports (Media Dependent Interface Crossover), so you may use either a straight-through Ethernet cable or crossover Ethernet cable for all Ethernet port connections. Auto- crossover ports automatically sense whether they need to function as crossover or straight ports, so crossover cables can connect both computers and switches/hubs.

Refer to the Product Specifications section for the types of network cable used for the different connection speeds.
