Ethernet Port Connectors
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-7541, WAVE-7571, and WAVE-8541 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.
