You would need to run some telephony wire (or CAT5, if that’s all you have) to one of our “points of presence”, where we will put V5_Access_Multiplexers. On the network side, the connector is a RJ45 connector where the center two pins are used for the a/b wires. This configuration is also compatible with plugging RJ-11/RJ-12 connectors in the RJ45 sockets. We also have some RJ45 connectors and crimp tools if your end terminates in bare wire.
We are planning to deploy those at only a few (2-3) “Datenklo” around the camp site. One of them will be in the vicinity of the PoC tent, the other locations are yet to be determined.
