ProSAFE Dual Band Wireless N Access Point WNDAP350 

Autosensing Ethernet Connections With Auto Uplink 

The WNDAP350 can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is 
autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. 

The wireless access point incorporates Auto Uplink

TM

 technology. The Ethernet port will 

automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a normal 
connection such as to a computer or an uplink connection such as to a switch or hub. That 
port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates any 
concerns about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to 
make the right connection.
