Connecting to the IP Network
The procedure below describes how to connect to the Ethernet (IP) network (e.g., switch).
An RJ-45 cable connector with the following pinouts is used:
Figure
5-1: RJ-45 Connector Pinouts for Ethernet Network
To connect the device to the Ethernet network:
1.
On the CPU module, connect the first Ethernet port (labeled
I
) directly to the Ethernet
network, using a straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
2.
Optionally, for Ethernet redundancy, connect the second Ethernet port (labeled
II
) to
the Ethernet network.
Note:
For Ethernet redundancy, it is recommended to connect each of the Ethernet
ports to a different switch.

Connecting to FXS Interfaces
The procedure below describes how to connect to FXS interfaces (e.g., fax machines,
modems, and plain old telephone system / POTS telephones).
Warnings:
•
Ensure that FXS ports are connected to the appropriate external devices;
otherwise, damage to the device may occur.
•
The FXS ports are considered as TNV-2.
Note:
This section is applicable only if your device is installed with an FXS module.
An RJ-11 cable connector with the following pinouts is used:
