servers using straight-through cables and to other hubs using crossover
cables.

Converts port 1 to an uplink port to allow you to connect the hub to an
Ethernet switch or another hub with an ordinary straight-through cable
instead of a modified crossover cable.

Used to connect the master hub to a network management station for out-
of-band communication, or for simple management using the console
