Crossover Cables
A twisted pair or fiber optic crossover cable allows you to connect
servers and workstations directly, without the use of a hub. When
using crossover cables, we recommend you override line speed
autosensing by selecting either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in your driver
configuration. See Chapter 4, Installing Network Drivers, and
Appendix B, Cables, for more information.
A simple network can be made by connecting a Quartet server
directly to four workstations via crossover cables.
