Reference Manual for the ME103 802.11b ProSafe Wireless Access Point

Introduction

August 2003

Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink

The ME103 can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing and
capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.

The wireless access point incorporates Auto Uplink

TM

technology. The Ethernet port will

automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’
connection such as to a PC or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then
configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates any concerns about
crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right
connection.
