NOTE
Wiring the TEDS device to the EX1629 may not be as expected given the signal names used. The
correct wiring is provided above in Figure 3-12 as well as below:
RJ-45 Pin 4 (RCAL + / TEDS +) to DS2430/1 GND
RJ-45 Pin 5 (RCAL - / TEDS -) to DS2430/1 IO
The “+” and “-” indicators for the signal names indicate that, since negative voltages are used to
communicate with the TEDS device, the GND signal is actually more positive than the IO signal.
