cards. Following this overview is a detailed description of each strap's
function.

Line Shield & FRGND (JB2)
This strap pertains to the line interface. In the connected (closed) posi-
tion, this strap links RJ-11 pins 1 and 6, or RJ-45 pins 2 and 7 to frame
ground. These pins can be used as connections for the twisted pair
cable shield. In the open (disconnected) position, pins 1 and 6 (or 2 and
7) remain connected to each other, but are “lifted” from the frame ground
(see Table 20).
DTE Shield (Pin 1) & FRGND (JB3)
In the connected (closed) position, this strap links DB-25 pin 1 and frame
ground. In the open (disconnected) position, pin 1 is “lifted” from frame
ground (see Table 21).
