Note: The FR328S Firewall incorporates Auto Uplink

TM

technology. Each LOCAL Ethernet

port will automatically sense whether the cable plugged into the port should have a 'normal'
connection (e.g. connecting to a PC) or an 'uplink' connection (e.g. 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.
