Auto Uplink
TM
and
Autosensing 10/100 Ethernet
The DM602 modem can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet card or a 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet card. The local LAN interface is autosensing and is capable of full-duplex or half-duplex
operation.
Depending on the country of purchase, the DM602 modem incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology (also called MDI/MDIX). The Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the 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.
Modem or Router Device Mode
The DM602 modem can be set to operate in either Modem Device Mode or Router Device Mode.
The DM602 sold in Germany defaults to Modem Mode.
Modem Device Mode
When set to operate in Modem Device Mode, your computer must be configured for whatever
settings your ISP requires. Also, if your ISP uses software to establish your Internet connection,
such software must be run on your computer.
