1.2.2Connectivity

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.
