RJ-45 Port Pin Assignments

All LAN ports on the CheetahAccess Wireless Gateway support automatic MDI/

MDI-X configuration. This means that the pin signals in use will depend on whether

the LAN port is operating in MDI or MDI-X

mode. However, the WAN port is

configured only for MDI-X mode.

Caution:DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. For Ethernet
connections, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform
with FCC standards.
