Front and Rear Panels

Front Panel

The front panel of the Switch contains a series of indi-
cator lights (LEDs) that help describe the state of vari-
ous networking and connection operations.

(1) 48 RJ-45 Ports

WARNING: 

RJ-45 Ports. These are shielded RJ-45 

data sockets. They cannot be used as standard tradi-
tional telephone sockets, or to connect the unit to a 
traditional PBX or public telephone network. Only 
connect RJ-45 data connectors, network telephony 
systems, or network telephones to these sockets.

Either shielded or unshielded data cables with 
shielded or unshielded jacks can be connected to 
these data sockets.

AVERTISSEMENT:

 Points d’accès RJ-45. Ceux-ci sont 

protégés par des prises de données. Ils ne peuvent 
pas être utilisés comme prises de téléphone conven-
tionnelles standard, ni pour la connection de l’unité à 
un réseau téléphonique central privé ou public. Rac-
corder seulement connecteurs de données RJ-45, 
systèmes de réseaux de téléphonie ou téléphones de 
réseaux à ces prises.

Il est possible de raccorder des câbles protégés ou 
non protégés avec des jacks protégés ou non pro-
tégés à ces prises de données.

WARNHINWEIS:

 RJ-45-Porte. Diese Porte sind 

geschützte Datensteckdosen. Sie dürfen weder wie 
normale traditionelle Telefonsteckdosen noch für die 
Verbindung der Einheit mit einem traditionellem pri-
vatem oder öffentlichem Telefonnetzwerk gebraucht 
werden. Nur RJ-45-Datenanscluße, Telefonnetzsys-
teme or Netztelefone an diese Steckdosen 
anschließen.
