Ports
There are four RJ-45 jacks on the rear of the module for connecting to an
Ethernet network. All eight pins of the connector are used for
1000BASE-T. Refer to
for the pins of the 1000BASE-T
Ethernet jacks. Each connector has two green LED indicators and both are
illuminated for a 1000 Mbps connection.
