Uplink Ports
The Uplink port is a MDI port. It means you can connect the
switch to another device through Uplink ports by instead of
using an ordinary straight-through cable than a crossover
cable.
In 16-port model, port 16 and the Uplink is really the same
port, except that their pins cross differently. Do not use
both Port 16 and the Uplink port at the same time.
In 24-port model, port 12 and the Uplink is really the same
port, except that their pins cross differently. Do not use
both Port 12 and the Uplink port at the same time.
