Connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet
connector. 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Fast Ethernet standards require
Category 5 or higher cabling. The WAVE appliance has one Ethernet connector
(see Figure 1-3).
The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. It provides an interface
for connecting to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1-Gbps network and provides
full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and
reception of data on the network. If the Ethernet port in the server supports 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 controller.
