Location of Ports and Connectors

Warning
Ethernet Port Connectors
Note
OL-17738-01
The WAVE appliance supports two Ethernet connectors and one Console port on
the back of the appliance.
Figure 1-3 shows the back panel ports and connectors.
To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits
to telephone-network voltage (TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits,
and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN ports both use RJ-45
connectors. Use caution when connecting cables. Statement 1021
This section contains the following topics:
Ethernet Port Connectors
•
Console Port Serial Connector
•
Connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable to an Ethernet
connector. 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet standards require
Category 5 or higher cabling.
The WAVE-574 appliance has two Ethernet connectors that are attached to the
Ethernet controllers (see
integrated on the system board. They provide an interface for connecting to a
10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provide full-duplex (FDX)
capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the
network. If the Ethernet ports in the server support auto negotiation, the
controllers detect the data-transfer rate (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, or
1000BASE-T) and duplex mode (full duplex or half duplex) of the network and
automatically operate at that rate and mode. You do not have to set any jumpers
or configure the controllers.
There is a third RJ45 connector on the rear of the appliance (see
is the unused system management port. Do not connect this port to your network.
