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
Depending on the country of purchase, the DM602 modem incorporates Auto UplinkTM 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 UplinkTM 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
