NETGEAR WG302 - 802.11g ProSafe Wireless Access Point User Manual

Reference Manual for the NETGEAR ProSafe Wireless Access Point 802.11g WG302
Introduction 2-5
July 2005 v3.0
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 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 any concerns
about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right
connection.
