The FWG114P v2 Wireless Firewall/Print Server incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology (also
called MDI/MDIX). Each LOCAL Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet
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 router, 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
TM
will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
