full-duplex. Transmission permitted in both directions at the same time over a data
communications line. See also half-duplex.
G4SA: See Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet adapter (G4SA).
Gigabit Ethernet 4-Port ServerNet adapter (G4SA). A multiport ServerNet adapter that
provides 1000 megabits/second (Mbps) data transfer rates between HP Integrity
NonStop™ NS-series systems and HP NonStop™ S-series systems and Ethernet
LANs. The G4SA is the only LAN adapter supported for the I/O Adapter Module
(IOAM) enclosure, and it is installed in slots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of an IOAM. Although the
G4SA supersedes the Ethernet 4 ServerNet adapter (E4SA), Fast Ethernet ServerNet
adapter (FESA), and the Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA), it cannot be
installed in an HP NonStop S-series enclosure.

half-duplex. Transmission permitted in only one direction at a time over a data
communications line. See also full-duplex.
hardware. All the physical components of a computer system or a peripheral device.
interface converter cable. A cable that is connected to a wide area network (WAN) port on
the SWAN 2 concentrator and supports one of the supported electrical interfaces
(RS-232, RS-449, X.21, and V.35). One end of each interface converter cable has a
50-pin connector that connects to any WAN port on a SWAN 2 concentrator. The other
end of each cable is a connector that conforms in size and pinout to one of the
supported interfaces.
