Reference Manual for the Model DG834PN 108 Mbps RangeMax
TM
Wireless ADSL Modem Router
2-6 Introduction
August 2005
Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink™ LAN Ethernet Connections
With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the DG834PN can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard
Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and
capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The wireless ADSL modem router incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each local Ethernet
port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a
‘normal’ connection such as to a computer 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 the
need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to
make the right connection.
