Inline Network Adapter Cabling Requirements

Note
OL-9137-02
The inline network adapter has three LEDs that correspond to each port (the 0
LEDs correspond to Port 0, and so forth).
State Description
On The 10/100/1000BASE-T interface is receiving power.
Blinking The Ethernet link is transmitting data.
On The speed of the Ethernet connection is 100BASE-TX.
On The speed of the Ethernet connection is 1000BASE-TX.
Both the 100 and The corresponding ports are in mechanical bypass mode.

Your inline network adapter ships with two types of cables: crossover and
straight-through. When you connect the WAE inline network adapter, proper
cabling depends on the link speed (Gigabit Ethernet or Fast Ethernet) and the
types of devices (DCE or DTE) being connected.
You must retain the same link speed from one end of the connection to the other
end. Inline adapter interfaces are able to autonegotiate link speeds. If any of your
connecting interfaces are configured for Fast Ethernet (whether on a switch or a
router), your WAE inline adapter uses Fast Ethernet. If any of your connecting
interfaces are configured for Gigabit Ethernet, your WAE inline adapter uses
Gigabit Ethernet. Speed and duplex settings are port-specific, so two inline ports
can negotiate different speeds independently.
