Figure C-7 RJ45 Connector Pins
The RJ45 connector on a SmartSwitch 1800 is mainly used for E&M operation. An
RJ45 cable is included with each SmartSwitch 1800. The cable end with the connector
plugs into the SmartSwitch, and the end with bare wire connects to a telco/PTT type
punch block. The cable is color-coded as described in the following table.
The RJ45 cable can also be used to provide the two-wire connection. For these appli-
cations, only the red and green wires (pins 4 and 5) are active; the other wires should
be insulated with electrical tape to prevent unwanted connections.
