Standard cable: 1 ----- 1 2 ----- 2 3 ----- 3 6 ----- 6 (1,2) -> (1,2) should be a twisted pair, as should (3,6) -> (3,6). Crossover cable: 1 ----- 3 2 ----- 6 3 ----- 1 6 ----- 2 (1,2) -> (3,6) should be a twisted pair, as should (3,6) -> (1,2). If you are using 4-pair cable (and you probably are), you can hook up 4 ----- 4 5 ----- 5 7 ----- 7 8 ----- 8 for both setups.
