Programming Fundamentals
This cable can be used to cascade hubs or to make point-to-point
connections without a LAN hub.
NOTE A convenient way to make a cross-over adapter is to use two RJ-45 jacks
wired according to Table 5-2, above. Standard straight-through patch
cables can then be used from the instrument to the adapter, and from
the adapter to other LAN devices. If you use a special-purpose adapter,
you will avoid having a cross-over cable mistaken for a standard,
straight-through patch cable.
NOTE Some commercially-available cross-over cables do not implement the
cross-over wiring required for your instrument. Please refer to
Table 5-2, above, and verify all connections before using cables not
made by Agilent Technologies.

a. Either end of this cable can be used at the instrument or
LAN device. The connector names are a convention use-
ful during cable construction only.
