Ethernet Connection
This section describes:
•
•
•
The rear panel Ethernet connector (figure 57) on the ISS switcher can be connected to an
Ethernet LAN or WAN. This connection makes SIS control of the switcher possible using a
computer connected to the same LAN.
Cabling
The Ethernet cables can be terminated as straight-through cables or crossover cables (see
figure 57) and must be properly terminated for your application:
•
Patch (straight through) cable — Connection of the ISS to an Ethernet hub, router,
or switcher that also hosts a controlling computer
•
Crossover cable — Direct connection between the ISS and a controlling computer
A cable that is wired as T568A at one end
and T568B at the other (Tx and Rx pairs
reversed) is a "crossover" cable.
A cable that is wired the same at both ends is
called a "straight-through" cable, because
no pin/pair assignments are swapped.
