IMPORTANT
The ports shown in Figure 13 are LAN ports. A symbol depicting a telephone handset with
a line through it indicates that you should not connect WAN type RJ-45 telephone
connectors to these ports.
To access the Ethernet ports, connect a Category 5, 5E, or 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP)
cable to the RJ-45 connectors on the back of the SP 1-Gb/s copper Ethernet personality
module, as described in Table 7.
