To earth the device:
1. Connect an electrically earthed strap of 16 AWG wire (minimum) to the chassis' earthing screw
(located on the rear panel), using the supplied washer.
2. Connect the other end of the strap to a protective earthing. This should be in accordance with
the regulations enforced in the country of installation.

Connecting to the LAN

The device provides up to four Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) ports for connection to the
LAN (e.g., computers, switches, and IP phones). These ports support half- and full-duplex modes,
auto-negotiation, and straight or crossover cable detection.
The RJ-45 connector pinouts are described in the following table:
