RJ-45

The RJ-45 jack on an Async/Sync Industrial Line Driver is prewired for a standard
telco wiring environment. To be sure you have the right wiring, use the table below
as a guide.

2 ..............GND†

3 ..............RCV

4 ..............XMT

5 ..............XMT

6 ..............RCV

7 ..............GND

8 ..............NC

†Connection to ground is optional.

Proper wiring of pairs between the two Line Drivers is as follows:
