2.6.3  M&C Connector - 10/100BaseT Ethernet 
There are two 10/100BaseT Ethernet M&C ports on the rear panel. One is labeled ETHERNET, and 
the other is labelled M&C DEMOD (both are RJ-45 connectors; see Table 2.7 for pin-outs). The 
M&C DEMOD connector is used during manufacturing and upgrades, and relates to the 
demodulator (if fitted) only, and should not be used in the field. The ETHERNET connector 
provides Ethernet capabilities for all functions of the modulator, including the modulator, 
demodulator, and interface cards (if fitted).
