port to a router, switch, or hub).

Configures the RJ-45 port to enable communications with the attached device, without
requiring user intervention. In this way, the Auto Uplink technology compensates for setting
uplink connections, while eliminating concern about whether to use crossover or straight-

SFP GBIC Module
The GBIC module bays accommodate standard SFP GBIC modules, such as the AGM731F,
AGM732F, or AGM733 from NETGEAR, allowing fiber connections on the network. The module
bay is a combo port, sharing a connection with an RJ-45 port. Being a combo port, only one type
of connection can be active at any given time. For example, both copper and fiber port cannot be
used at the same time. If both connectors are plugged in at the same time, the fiber port will be
active.

configuration and returning the device back to the factory settings. This will remove all settings,
including the password, VLAN settings and port configurations. The stacking settings are cleared
by the Factory Defaults Button.
