The 10/100/1000 Mbps twisted-pair ports on the AT-SBx31GT24, AT-
SBx31GT40, and AT-SBx31GP24 Line Cards are IEEE 802.3ab compliant
and feature automatic MDIX detection when operating at 10 or 100 Mbps.
(Automatic MDIX detection does not apply to 1000 Mbps.) This feature
automatically configures the ports to MDI or MDI-X depending on the
wiring configurations of the end nodes.
You may not disable automatic MDIX detection on the ports. For automatic
MDIX detection to work properly, it must also be present on the network
devices. Ports connected to network devices that do not support automatic
MDIX detection default to MDIX.
Here are the guidelines on whether to use straight-through or crossover
cables to connect network devices to the line cards:
You may use straight-through cables on ports that are connected
to network devices that operate at 1000 Mbps.
