Note 1: Ports on the 8632TXE, 8632TXM, 8648TXE, and 8648TXM modules are wired as MDI-X.
Use straight-through cables to connect these ports to MDI connections such as workstations or
servers. Use crossover cables to connect these ports to other MDI-X connections such as hubs or
other switches.
Note 2: Depends on installed GBIC model; for specifications, see Nortel Installation — SFP, XFP,
