Auto Sensing And Auto Uplink™ Lan Ethernet Connections; What's In The Box; The Router's Front Panel - NETGEAR DG834 ADSL Firewall Router DG834 DG834 Reference Manual

Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink™ LAN Ethernet Connections
With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the DG834 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 router incorporates Auto Uplink
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.
