Up-Link or “Cross-over” Switch (On the RJ-45 port)

Magnum 14E Media Converters are equipped with an up-link slide switch to

accommodate switch- or repeater-to-converter connections without a special cross-over cable.

When set to the straight position (=), the Magnum 14E Media Converter is wired for normal

twisted pair connection to a user node device. When set to the cross-over position (X), the

Media Converter is wired with cross-over functionality for direct up-link to a network hub or

switch.

See Figure 4.4 below for the location of the switch on the Magnum 14E Media

Converter unit.
