10/100 Ports
The 10/100 Ethernet ports use standard RJ-45 connectors and Ethernet pinouts
with internal crossovers, as shown by an X in the port name. These ports have the
transmit (TD) and receive (RD) signals internally crossed so that a twisted-pair
straight-through cable and adapter can be attached to the port. Figure B-1 shows
the pinout.
