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.

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.

Rules for Using the Uplink Feature
Uplink should never be selected for a station
cable connection.
And Uplink should never be
selected for a hub-to-hub connection through a
crossover cable (because the crossover in the
connector wiring would cancel out the crossover
