Connecting Cisco G.SHDSL HWICs to the Network
Connect Cisco G.SHDSL HWICs as described next:
• Cisco HWIC-2SHDSL—Use a standard RJ-11 straight-through cable to establish connection
between the HWIC and a network device.
• Cisco HWIC-4SHDSL—Use a standard RJ-45 straight-through cable to establish connection
between the HWIC and a network device.
Figure 3 shows the RJ-45 pin assignment. Table 1 identifies the RJ-45 signal assignment by pin.
Caution Inserting an RJ-11 connector into the Cisco HWIC-4SHDSL port may deform pins 1 and 8, which may
prevent solid contact between the connector and the plug in subsequent connections. If solid contact is
prevented, line -1 tip and line -3 ring will not work properly.
