Find an old gray haired person to talk about 3088 where the I/O configuration drawings even "X" for selected connection and "o" for "broken" ... A "null modem" for those with such heritage. And the neat thing is that our foot of fiber actually is 256 null modem cables. We don't do cross wires, so you configure one chpid as male and the other as female (the political correct term is CTC and CNC).
