Most routers 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 computer) 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.
