Product Overview
This section contains the following topics:
• Inline Network Adapter Description
• Ports and LED Indicators
• Adapter Specifications
Note The minimum software release required for the inline network adapter is WAAS 4.0.7.
Inline Network Adapter Description
The WAE appliance supports one optional 4-port Ethernet inline network adapter. The inline network
adapter is a full-height, three-quarter-length PCI-X network interface card that contains four
independent Gigabit Ethernet ports. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1 Inline Network Adapter
The Cisco WAE inline network adapter provides an inline traffic interception capability for your
appliance. When you configure the WAE appliance for inline interception mode, you can set attributes
to control which interfaces are to be used over which VLANs. By default, the adapter operates on all
inline-capable interfaces and VLANs. You can configure the inline redirection feature using the WAAS
4.0.7 CLI or the WAAS 4.0.7 Central Manager GUI.

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.) The group number is either 0 or 1 (each adapter has 2 group pairs). The group number is
displayed on the adapter label.
InlinePort interfaces are numbered slot/group/lan or slot/group/wan. The last attribute is the LAN or
WAN designator.
The inline network adapter also includes an onboard programmable watch dog timer (WDT) controller
that allows you to set the time to wait after a failure event, such as a power outage or a kernel crash,
before the unit begins to operate in mechanical bypass mode. In mechanical bypass mode, traffic is
bridged between the LAN and WAN ports of each group. Mechanical bypass mode prevents the WAE
from becoming a single point of failure and allows traffic to continue to flow between the router and the
client while it passes through an unresponsive WAE without being processed.
For more information about configuring the inline network adapter, see the Cisco Wide Area Application
Services Configuration Guide.

Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
The safety cover is an integral part of the product. Do not operate the unit without the safety cover
installed. Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidate the safety approvals and pose
a risk of fire and electrical hazards.
Blank faceplates (filler panels) serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous
voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might
disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate
the system unless all cards and faceplates are in place.
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.

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.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the electrical outlet and replace
the part or contact your authorized service provider:
–
The power cable or plug is damaged.
–
An object has fallen into the product.
–
The product has been exposed to water.
–
The product has been dropped or damaged.
–
The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating instructions.
• Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling
vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate the product in a wet
environment.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing so can cause fire or
electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal components.
• Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type of power source
indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required,
consult your service representative or local power company.
• Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power cable for your
Content Engine or for any AC-powered option intended for your system, purchase a power cable that
is approved for use in your country. The power cable must be rated for the product and for the
voltage and current marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating
of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral power cables into
properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help
ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable.
• Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with your product.
• To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical
power, use a surge suppressor or line conditioner.
• Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord and plug so that they
cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that nothing rests on your system components’ cables
or power cord.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site
modifications. Always follow your local or national wiring rules.

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. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
• Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your
body by touching it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least 2 seconds.
• Remove the adapter from its packaging and install it directly into your system unit without setting
it down. If it is necessary to set the adapter down, place it in its static-protective package. Do not
place the adapter on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic floor pads and
workbench pads.
• Handle the adapter carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
• Do not leave the adapter where others can handle and possibly damage the adapter.
Important Operational Notes
• Take additional care when handling adapters during cold weather because heating reduces indoor
humidity and increases static electricity.
Important Operational Notes
If you intend to reconfigure an edge or core WAE with a Cisco WAE inline network adapter installed in
it as a Central Manager device, first remove the inline network adapter. The inline network adapter is not
supported in a Central Manager appliance.
