2.1 LAN Cables
In your STPro package, a full wired straightthrough RJ45/RJ45
cable, further referred to as LAN cable is included.
You can use LAN cables other than the one provided in the box,
e.g. crossover LAN cables. However, make sure that these have
the correct layout.
See section B.6 for more information on how to identify
straightthrough and crossover LAN cables.
Note: As the included LAN cable is fully wired, it can also be used for
connecting the STPro's ATMF25.6 port.
Determine the LAN cable type from the following table:
Speed Touch Other equipment Type of LAN cable Symbol
MDIX MDIX Crossover

PC Ethernet ports are always of type MDI; ATM PCNIC ports are
always of type ATMEnd.
Ethernet hub ports are of type MDIX; ATM switch ports are of type
ATMNetwork.
Note: You may use the (switchable) uplink" or cascade" MDI port which is
sometimes present on Ethernet hubs. However, make sure to use the correct
cable type.
