Note: The CGD24G gateway uses Auto Uplink

technology. Each local
Ethernet port senses whether the cable plugged into the port is attached to
a PC, or is attached to a switch or hub, which requires an uplink
connection. The port configures itself to accommodate either type of
cable. This eliminates the need for crossover cables.
