TEDS
Device
(i.e. DS2430
or DS2431)
NOTE
Wiring the TEDS device to the EX1629 may not be as expected given the signal names used. The
correct wiring is provided above in Figure 3-12 as well as below:
RJ-45 Pin 4 (RCAL + / TEDS +) to DS2430/1 GND
RJ-45 Pin 5 (RCAL - / TEDS -) to DS2430/1 IO
The "+" and "-" indicators for the signal names indicate that, since negative voltages are used to
communicate with the TEDS device, the GND signal is actually more positive than the IO signal.
