Note: The DG834GT Super Wireless ADSL Router incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology.
Each Ethernet LAN port will automatically sense whether the cable plugged into the port
should have a 'normal' connection (for example, connecting to a computer) or an 'uplink'
connection (for example, connecting to a switch or hub). That port will then configure itself to
the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover
cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
