Ethernet LAN port will automatically sense whether the cable plugged into
the port should have a 'normal' connection (for example, connecting to a
computer) or an 'uplink' connection (for example, connecting to a switch or
hub). That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This

Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right
