And if I'm not going through a switch or other hub, I probably need a crossover cable, right?
Crossover-cables were necessary up to, and including 100BASE-T. The 1000BASE-T standard makes auto-crossing (Auto-MDIX) mandatory. No need for crossover cables with Gigabit.
Hmm. And I already know that as long as *ONE* end is plugged into an
Auto-MDI-X socket, the link doesn't care whether the cable is
straight-through or crossover.
Looking ahead to hooking up the main Ethernet:
Referring back to the picture, to the left of the sockets, under a 1GB
heading, they're labeled T1 through T4, and then T1 and T2 again, while
on the right, under a heading of 10GB, the first one is labeled T1 and
the *third* one is labeled T2. Can somebody explain what's up with that?
The switch that serves as the office Ethernet hub is a Linksys EZXS16W,
old enough to have a purple front, and looking at an online manual, it's
apparently not even 1GB, let alone 10GB; would I then be using the
second from the top, or the third from the top?
