Line monitoring
The switch uses link test pulses according to standard IEEE 802.3 at regular intervals
to monitor the connected TP/TX cable segments for short circuits and interrupts.

Connecting the RJ45 connectors
Insert the RJ45 male connector into the female connector according to the keying until it
snaps into place. To remove the connector, press the snap-in device in the direction of the
connector (A) and then remove the connector.

The figure below shows the VS-08-T-G-RJ45/IP20, which can be snapped directly onto the
interface module.

Using the VS-08-T-G-RJ45/IP20
Ports that are not being used are considered cable interrupts. In addition, a TP/TX path to
a deactivated termination device is also considered a cable interrupt, as the connected
device cannot send a link test pulse because it is switched off.
