Ethernet connection does not establish between and ODE and a MAC when connected directly

Article ID: 000075

Problem:

When connecting an ODE with a Mac using a straight or crossover cable, the ethernet link does not establish. When using a PC or a hub there is no problem

Solution:

There appears to be a problem with autonegotitaion or MDI/MDIX on a small number of Mac systems, we are still working on finding out what is causing it, until this issue is resolved please use a switch in between the ODE and Mac
