Reference Manual for the ProSafe Wireless 802.11g Firewall/Print Server Model FWG114P
Networks, Routing, and Firewall Basics B-15
March 2004, 202-10027-01
The FWG114P Wireless Firewall/Print Server incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology (also called
MDI/MDIX). Each LOCAL Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet 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 router, 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
TM
will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
