A convenient way to make a cross-over adapter is to use two RJ-45 jacks wired according
to Tabl e 16, above. Standard straight-through patch cables can then be used from the
instrument to the adapter, and from the adapter to other LAN devices. If you use a
special-purpose adapter, you will avoid having a cross-over cable mistaken for a standard,
straight-through patch cable.
Some commercially-available cross-over cables do not implement the cross-over wiring
required for your instrument. Refer to Table 16, above, and verify all connections before
using cables not made by Agilent Technologies.
