2. The Model 2173R is equipped with either an RJ-45 interface jack that
can be used on the CopperLINK interface. These CopperLINK inter-
faces are a two-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationships on
the Model 2173R's CopperLINK interface jacks.
The RJ-45 connector on the Model 2173R's twisted pair interface is
polarity insensitive and is wired for a two-wire interface. The signal/pin
relationship is shown in Figure 3.

3.2 CONNECTING THE 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE
The shielded RJ-45 port labeled Ethernet is the Auto-MDIX10/100Base-
T interface. This port is designed to connect directly to a 10/100Base-T
network. Figure 4 shows the signal/pin relationships on this interface.
You may connect this port to a hub or PC using a straight through or
crossover cable that is up to 328 ft long.
The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for
external use and shall be rated for the proper applica-
tion with respect to voltage, current, anticipated tem-
perature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
