Method and system for MDI crossover control

摘要

An MDI crossover incorporated in a converter that automatically detects if a cable connection has been made to an MDI port and if so, is the orientation of the cable correct. If the orientation of the cable is not correct, effecting a crossover. The crossover may be made by detecting when a cable has been plugged into a first device indicating that a signal connection has been made between a second device and the first device and determining if the orientation of the cable is correct with respect to a signal input and output of the first device. A crossover of the orientation of the cable is performed if it is determined that the orientation is not correct.
