Connecting WAN Interfaces
The device provides two copper Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) port interfaces (10/100/1000Base-T).
Currently, only Port #1 can be used (Gigabit Ethernet 0/0). Port #2 will be enabled in a
future software release (which will provide WAN active-standby redundancy).
Cable specification:
◼
Cable: straight-through Ethernet cable
◼
Connector: RJ-45
