cabling. Port 1 is fully occupied whenever (1) a hub-to-hub connection is made through its Uplink connector, or (2) any kind of connection is made directly through the Port 1 connector. Below in this manual, the term " Uplink selected" will mean, as to the Model DE-816TP Ethernet Hub in question, that the subject connection is made through the Uplink connector Model DE-824TP Ethernet Hub The connector numbered as Port 1 is equipped with a switch labeled " Uplink" When the Uplink switch is in the " off" (tall) position, the Port 1 connector is wired " straight" to the supporting circuitry, and Port 1 is then identical with each of the twenty-three other numbered ports. When the Uplink switch is in the " on" (depressed) position, a pin interchange is switched into the wiring for the Port 1 connector, to provide a cross-over, and thus allow use of a straight cable to make a hub-to-hub connection. Below in this manual, the term " Uplink selected" will mean, as to the Model DE-824TP Ethernet Hub in question, that the subject connection is made through Port 1 and the Uplink switch is in its " on" (depressed) position. Rules for Using the Uplink Feature Uplink should never be selected for a station cable connection.
