RJ45 connectors according to the device you are connecting to. Default setting: 4-Wire-
X.
3.2.1 Port Function
Check this function whenever you are connecting 4-Wire devices (not GPIO DB-9M connectors)
to your Arcadia Central Station. Default = 4-Wire-X.
About Port Function
Clear-Com products are designed so central audio routing devices (base stations and matrices)
can connect directly to other Arcadia Central Stations using a straight-through CAT 5/6 cable.
The pin assignments (inputs and outputs) on these devices are complementary. Previously, a
crossover cable was necessary when connecting bases to other bases (RJ45 connector). It is
no longer necessary to use a crossover cable as there is now a Port Function toggle which
changes pinouts as required. To set this function navigate in the CCM to Hardware >
Rescources > Physical Ports and select the required 4-Wire port.
