Because the inline network adapter has an internal crossover connection
that becomes active when the InlineGroup interface is placed in
mechanical bypass mode, you must decide which cable you would use to
connect the two network devices directly, and then you must install the
other cable type (on one side, usually the WAN side of the inline
appliance) instead.

Cable Requirements for WAVE Connections Using Fast
Ethernet
On the LAN side of the connection, use a straight-through cable between the
WAVE inline appliance and the network device.
On the WAN side of the connection, use the cable that is different from the
cable that you would use to connect the two network devices directly (as
determined in Step 1).
