and computers, WAN interfaces, or other devices.
One Ethernet cable is included with the UC 540 and one cable is
included with each IP phone.
– RJ-11 cable for analog Line (FXO) and Phone (FXS) connections.
– RJ-45 (non-Ethernet) cable for ISDN (BRI) connections.
– RJ-48 cable for ISDN (PRI) T1/E1 connections (only needed if a
T1/E1 voice interface card is installed).
