Identifying Communication Ports

The CSG unit consists of up to eight RJ11 analog ports which can be configured as either FXO or FXS
ports, depending on the type of modules installed in the CSG model. These ports provide 16ms of analog
port echo cancellation. The unit is rated for a total of 8 REN across all FXS ports. Each individual port is
rated for up to 3 REN @ 1500ft (450m).
Four 10/100BaseT LAN ports and one 10/100BaseT WAN port provide the functionality to connect to
the local network as well as allowing the CSG to act as a router. All the Ethernet ports support
auto-MDI/MDX.
An RS-232 console port is also available for additional configuring of the pre-loaded CSG software via
direct physical access. The preferred method for configuring the unit is by using the web based interface.
You can also configure it remotely using SSH. The CSG is shipped fully configured, but it may be
altered for specific applications.
FIG. 2 displays the ports and their corresponding LEDs.
The example shown is configured with four FXO and four FXS ports, model CSG-544.
