1.2.2 Connectivity
The VHSIM-G02 supports two modes of operation for the Gigabit
interfaces. In one mode, the VHSIM-G02 supports one active and one
redundant Gigabit Ethernet twisted pair port. In the other mode, both of
the interfaces can be active at the same time, if the host platform has 16 or
less fixed front panel ports.
The VHSIM-G02 supports Gigabit Ethernet connections on the RJ45
ports using twisted pair. The VHSIM-G02 module supports the
IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit specification and the IEEE 802.3x specification for
flow control and auto-negotiation. The VHSIM-G02 operates in full
duplex mode.
