Crossover or straight through wiring

There are different types of Ethernet cables, depending on the application. In a straight

through cable, both cable ends have T568A plugs or both ends have T568B plugs. In a

crossover cable, one end has a T568A plug and the other end a T568B plug.

Use straight through wiring if you connect the Gateway to a switch, hub or router (see
Figure 3.8 on page 25).

Use crossover wiring if you connect the Gateway directly to another ethernet device
(e.g. a PC) without a switch, hub or router (see Figure 3.8 on page 25).

Note!

Latest network interface cards and hub/switch/router versions can be able to automatically

adjust to the cable version used, also if this is not the applicable one according to the

guidelines given in this manual.
