Ethernet cables are divided into two categories: straight-through and crossover.
Straight-through cable: The sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ-45
connectors at both ends are the same. The cable connects a terminal device (PC
or router) to a HUB or LAN Switch.
Crossover cable: The sequences of the twisted pairs crimped in the RJ-45
connectors at both ends are different. The cable connects a terminal device (PC or
router) to another terminal device. You can make crossover cables by yourself.
For the Ethernet cable pinout, see Low-End and Mid-Range Series Routers Cable
Manual.

8.5.6 Connecting the Interface Cable

Step 1: Plug one end of the cable to the GE port on the 1GBE/2GBE module on the
SecPath V1000-A and another end to the peer device. (For a PC or Router, use a
straight-through cable; for a HUB or LAN Switch, use a crossover cable.)
Step 2: Power up the SecPath V1000-A and check the status of the LED for the module
on the front panel of the SecPath V1000-A. ON means the module has passed the
POST and can operate normally; OFF means the POST fails. In the latter case, contact
your agent for help.
Step 3: Check the status of the LINK LED on the 1GBE/2GBE module panel. ON
means a link is present. OFF means no link is present; check the line for the cause.
