Connect the Ethernet connection on the MP-11x directly to the network using a
standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable. For connector pinouts, refer to Figure 2-5.

Section 3.1.1), you may be required to disconnect this cable and re-cable it
differently.
Connect the RJ-11 FXS connectors to fax
machines, modems, or phones.

Connect the RJ-11 FXO connectors to
telephone exchange analog lines or PBX

Ensure that FXS and FXO ports
are connected to the correct
devices, otherwise damage can
occur.
The RJ-11 pinouts are described in
Figure 2-6).
