Note: The FVS318 VPN Firewall incorporates Auto Uplink
Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the cable plugged into the port should have a
'normal' connection (e.g. connecting to a PC) or an 'uplink' connection (e.g. 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.
