RJ-21 Ports

The RJ-21 ports on the switch front panel support 16 twisted-pair connections. The “Line” port connects to end-user CPEs through a punch-down box. The “POTS” port connects to the local PBX or directly to telephone lines from the CO.

1000BASE-T Ports

The switch contains two Gigabit RJ-45 ports shared with alternate Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots. The 1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports operate at 10/100 Mbps, half/full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all of the RJ-45 ports support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin Assignments” on page B-3.)

Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode of that port can be configured manually.
