1.2 Interface Descriptions
Before you start to configure your device, it is very important that the proper cables with the
correct pin arrangement are used when connecting the Residential Gateway to other devices such
as switch, hub, workstation, etc. The following describes correct cables for each interface type.
WAN 100/1000Base-X SFP Port
1x 100/1000Base-X SFP Port is located within the back panel of the Residential Gateway.
The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact optical transceiver used in optical data
communication applications. It interfaces a network device mother board (for a switch,
router or similar device) to a fiber optic or unshielded twisted pair networking cable. It is a
popular industry format supported by several fiber optic component vendors.
SFP transceivers are available with a variety of different transmitter and receiver types,
allowing users to select the appropriate transceiver for each link to provide the required
optical reach over the available optical fiber type. SFP transceivers are also available with a
"copper" cable interface, allowing a host device designed primarily for optical fiber
communications to also communicate over unshielded twisted pair networking cable.
SFP slot for 3.3V mini GBIC module supports hot swappable SFP fiber transceiver. Before
connecting the other switches, workstation or Media Converter, make sure both side of the
SFP transfer are with the same media type, for example, 1000Base-SX to 1000Base-SX,
1000Bas-LX to 1000Base-LX, and check the fiber-optic cable type matches the SFP
transfer model. To connect to 1000Base-SX transceiver, use the multi-mode fiber cable
with male duplex LC connector type for one side. To connect to 1000Base-LX transfer, use
the single-mode fiber cable with male duplex LC connector type for one side.
LAN 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ-45 Ports
4x10/100/1000Base-T 8-pin RJ-45 ports are located at the front panel of the Residential
Gateway. These RJ-45 ports allow user to connect their traditional copper based
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet devices into network. All these ports support auto-negotiation and
MDI/MDIX auto-crossover, i.e. either crossover or straight through CAT-5 cable may be
used.
Since there is no separated RJ-45 Management Console port for this Residential Gateway,
however any of these four 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports can be used temporarily as the
RJ-45 Management Console Port for local management. This temporary RJ-45
Management Console Port of the Residential Gateway and a RJ-45 LAN cable for PC
connections are required to connect the Residential Gateway and a PC. Through these, the
