Making an Ethernet Crossover Cable

An Ethernet crossover cable can be made by taking a standard Ethernet
cable (which will have wires attached to pins 1, 2, 3 and 6 only on the 8
pin RJ-45 connector) and swapping pin 1 with pin 3, and also swapping
pin 2 with pin 6, on one end of the cable only. This effectively reverses
the transmit and receive pairs, and allows two hosts to communicate
without the use of a network hub.
3.3

Call Direction

The call direction options of the panels are fully compatible with the
T-Link module. For example, if telephone number one is programmed
for the T-Link and network communication is lost, the panel will use the
backup telephone number to send the information to the central sta-
tion. The communication format is telephone number-specific and
therefore the land line communication format can be different from the
T-Link's SIA format.
