Port 16 is switchable between Normal (MDI-X) and Uplink (MDI) positions and should be
configured according to the following guidelines:
• Set the Normal/Uplink push button to the Normal position and use a straight-through cable if
the remote end of the cable is connected to an MDI-wired device such as a PC.
• Set the Normal/Uplink push button to the Uplink position and use a straight-through cable if
the remote end of the cable is connected to an MDI-X device such as a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
hub or repeater.
For further cabling guidelines, refer to Appendix B, “Cabling Specifications.”
Refer to the following illustrations for connecting to the RJ-45 ports and proceed to “Completing
