AutoCross Jumpers
The AutoCross feature allows either straight-through (MDI) or crossover
(MDI-X) cables to be used when connecting to devices such as hubs,
transceivers, or network interface cards (NICs). AutoCross determines the
characteristics of the cable connection and automatically configures the unit
to link up, regardless of the cable configuration.
