Up-Link (Cross-over) Switch

When set to the UP position (=), the

Magnum Media Converter is wired for normal

twisted-pair connection to a user node device. When

set to the DOWN position (X), the Media Converter

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

Switch ports may be of either polarity, and this feature is most convenient with switches..
