RJ-45 Gigabit Port Description
The RJ-45 Gigabit port can automatically determine whether it needs to cross over between pairs as
shown in Table 4-1. Therefore, the 1000BASE-T gigabit port does not require an external crossover
cable when connecting to another Gigabit switch.

Summary:
When connecting a computer to the station port/gigabit port of the Live-GSH8T, use a
straight-through UTP cable.
When connecting the gigabit port of Live-GSH8T to the station port of another hub/switch, use
a straight-through cable.
When uplinking Live-GSH8T to any port (MDI-X) of another hub/switch, use a
straight-through cable. Please note that the cabling distance is 100 meters maximum.
When using crossover cable, the connection can be made from any station ports (MDI-X) of
Live-GSH8T to any station ports (MDI-X) of other devices.
