2.3.4. TPS input/output ports
The matrix provides standard RJ45 connectors for TPS input and output ports.
RJ45 receptacle RJ45 plug
The recommended termination is based on TIA/EIA T 568 A or TIA/EIA T 568 B standards.
When a standard Ethernet device is connected to the TPS connector for some reason, the
port is switched to Ethernet fallback mode automatically.
2.3.5. LAN and TPS Ethernet port
The matrix contains two RJ-45 connectors for Ethernet/LAN connection: one for local
control functions and one for the TPS lines. The two interfaces are connected (default) but
can be separated. The connector with “LAN” display is for local controlling functions – the
matrix can be configured and controlled via local Ethernet via this port. The connector with
“TPS Ethernet” display is to supply the Ethernet to the TPS ports.
The Ethernet ports can be connected to a LAN hub, switch or router by a CATx cable.
However both cable types (straight or cross) are supported and handled by the device,
below pin assignment is recommended.
