Attention
: Ensure that you do not externally join ports of adapters
(using bridges, switches, or concentrators).
You can connect two types of network cables to the PeerMaster
adapter: straight-through and crossover.
Use straight-through cables when connecting your adapter to an
external 10Base-T concentrator hub.

Use crossover cables to directly connect your PeerMaster adapter to
another 10Base-T device, such as a workstation, server, or another
adapter. Crossover cables create dedicated segments. A dedicated
segment is two point-to-point devices connected to a dedicated link.
