Ethernet cables are divided into two categories: straight-through and crossover. 

z

 

Straight-through cable: The sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ-45 
connectors at both ends are the same. It connects a terminal device (PC or router) 
to a HUB or LAN switch.  

z

 

Crossover cable: The sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ-45 
connectors at both ends are different. It connects a terminal device (PC or router) 
to another terminal device. You make crossover cables by yourself. 

 

 

  Note: 

In making network cables, shielded cables are preferred for the sake of 
electromagnetic compatibility. 

 

8.4.6  Connecting the Interface Cable 

Step 1: Plug one end of the cable to an Ethernet port of the FE module on the firewall 
and another end to the desired device. (For a PC or Router, use a straight-through 
cable; for a HUB or LAN switch, use a crossover cable.) 

Step 2: Power up the firewall and check state of the LINK LED on the FE module. ON 
means a link is present. OFF means no link is present and you should check the 
connection.  

 

  Caution: 

Read the mark of a port carefully before you connect it; a wrong connection can cause 
damages to the interface module and even the device.
