Product Overview Warning IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This warning symbol means danger. You are in a situation that could cause bodily injury. Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents. Use the statement number provided at the end of each warning to locate its translation in the translated safety warnings that accompanied this device.
Product Overview The WAAS software defines two new interface types: A group interface that represents an inline pair grouping and a port interface that represents the individual port. These interfaces are referred to as inlineGroup and inlinePort. InlineGroup interfaces are numbered using the format slot/group. The slot number is the slot in which the adapter is inserted. (In the WAE 500 series and 600 series appliances, you must install the adapter in slot 1 only.
Product Overview Table 1 Note Inline Network Adapter LEDs (continued) LEDs State Description 1000 On The speed of the Ethernet connection is 1000BASE-TX. Bypass Both the 100 and 1000 LEDs are on The corresponding ports are in mechanical bypass mode. On older inline network adapters, the LEDs are labelled 0, 1, 2, and 3. These correspond to W1, L1, W0, and L0 respectively. Adapter Specifications Table 2 describes the inline network adapter technical and general specifications.
Safety Guidelines Safety Guidelines To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and damage to the equipment, observe the following precautions: • Warnings • General Precautions • Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge Warnings Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor.
Safety Guidelines General Precautions Observe the following general precautions for using and working with your system: • Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Cisco product except as explained in your system documentation. Opening or removing covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt may expose you to electrical shock. Components inside these compartments should be serviced only by an authorized service technician.
Important Operational Notes Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your system’s electronic components. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface on the chassis. You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD): • Limit your movement.

Cabling Completing the Installation To complete your installation, follow these steps: Step 1 Install the top cover by placing the cover-release latch in the open (up) position. Insert the bottom tabs of the top cover into the matching slots in the WAE chassis. Press down on the cover-release latch to lock the cover in place, as shown in Figure 19. Figure 19 Installing the Cover 185093 Cover-release latch Step 2 Install the device in a rack.
Cabling Note We strongly recommend that you do not use half-duplex connections on the WAE or on routers, switches, or other devices. If you are connecting a WAE inline appliance between two devices using Gigabit Ethernet, you can use either straight-through cables, crossover cables, or any combination of the two cable types, regardless of the type of device. However, for consistency, we recommend that you use straight-through cables for all Gigabit Ethernet connections.
Cabling • When you are directly connecting two network devices that are different, such as a switch and router, use a straight-through cable. 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.
Cabling Installation Scenarios and Cabling Examples for Fast Ethernet Connections WAE appliances can be installed physically between two network devices (such as the branch office router and branch office LAN switch) by connecting the WAE inline network adapter ports to the network devices using the proper cables.
