Using the MDI/MDI-X switch, the Megabit Modem 400F can communicate with a device on
the LAN that is either MDI or MDI-X without having to change the cable (a straight-through
cable is supplied with the installation kit).

Set the switch for the 10/100BASE-T port to either:

MDI-X when you are connecting to a device with an MDI port such as a PC with an
Ethernet NIC

MDI when you are connecting to a device with an MDI-X port such as a hub, repeater,
bridge, or router
