If your Talari appliance is operating in bypass mode, logic used by the appliance represents the functionality provided by a crossover cable. This may cause a loss of the link between the Talari appliance and older network devices that do not support Auto-MDIX when straight-through cables are used to connect the LAN and WAN ports of the Talari appliance. In such a case, a crossover cable is required from the Talari WAN port to the network device.

If your network devices support Auto-MDIX capability, the link should be automatically established when in bypass mode and there should be no need for crossover cables. Talari recommends testing and verifying this capability with the Talari appliance powered off for proper operation.

For assistance, please contact your Talari representative, or the Talari Support team.
