2.4.2 Connecting to WAN
The type of WAN port interface depends on the ordered model:
RJ-45 port (4-twisted pair copper cabling), providing 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) interface
(refer to ‘Gigabit Ethernet Copper Cabling’ on page 20)
RJ-48
c Channel Service Unit/Data Service Unit (DSU/CSU) dual T1 WAN port for
connecting up to two T1 lines (refer to ‘T1 WAN DSU/CSU Cabling’ on page 21)
RJ-45 Symm
etric High-Speed Digital Subscriber Line (SHDSL) interface, providing
10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit interface (refer to ‘SHDSL WAN Cabling’ on page 22)
2.4.2.1 Gigabit Ethernet Copper Cabling
The procedure below describes how to connect the Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port to the
WAN.
¾ To connect the device to the WAN network using GbE port:
1. Connect one end of a straight-through RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port labeled
WAN (located on the front panel).
Figure 2-8: Connecting the WAN Port
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet WAN network (e.g., ADSL or Cable
modem).
The RJ-45 connector pinouts are described in the table below:
