a: Pass-through
b: Cross-over
This model acts as a connection switch.
It has a single parameter, crossOver.
If crossOver is
set to false, then
the router will be in the pass-through mode. In that case,
negative1 is connected to positive1 and negative2
is connected to positive2, as shown by Figure 1a.
If crossOver is set to true, then the router will be in cross-over mode. In that case, negative1 is connected to positive2
and negative2 is
connected to positive1, as shown by Figure 1b.
