Jim Being new to the GR1089 Core Test requirements, I'm a little confused with your answer about the 10baseT and 100baseT ports. Both Sections 4.5.9 and 4.5.16 reference table 4-1 which references telecommunications port Tip and Ring pairs. How does this apply to Ethernet LAN ports that do not carry Tip and Ring Signals.
