  • Patent number: 10419551
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a network device and an auto detecting method for automatically detecting direct link between communication devices. In an aspect, the auto detecting method includes following steps. A first network device sends a first signal having a specific pattern from a first network port of the first network device to a second network port of a second network device through a cable network. The first network device determines whether the first network port receives a second signal having the specific pattern from the second network device. When the first network device receives the second signal having the specific pattern from the second network device, the first network device determines that the first network port directly links to the second network port of the second network device; otherwise the first network device determines that the first network device lacks a direct link to the second network device.
