Since there is no separated RJ-45 Management Console port for this Residential Gateway,
however any of these four 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports can be used temporarily as the
RJ-45 Management Console Port for local management. This temporary RJ-45
Management Console Port of the Residential Gateway and a RJ-45 LAN cable for PC
connections are required to connect the Residential Gateway and a PC. Through these, the
user then can configure and check the Residential Gateway even when the network is
down.
