All ports have an automatic MDI/MDIX feature, which
means either straight-through or crossover cable can be
used to connect to any port.

These are shielded RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot be
used as standard traditional 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.
VORSICHT: RJ-45-Portes.
Diese Portes sind geschützte Datensteckdosen. Sie dürfen
weder wie normale traditionelle Telefonsteckdosen noch
für die Verbindung der Einheit mit einem traditionellenm
privatenm oder öffentlichenm Telefonnetzwerk gebraucht
werden. Nur RJ-45- Datenansclußhlüsse,
Telefonnetzsysteme oder Netztelefone an diese
Steckdosen anschließen.
Entweder geschützte oder ungeschützte Buchsen dürfen
an diese Datensteckdosen angeschlossen werden.

Ces prises ne peuvent servir comme prises téléphone
standard et ne permettent pas la connexion de l'appareil
à un système PBX ni à un réseau téléphonique public. N'y
