Note: The DG834 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.
