Zusammenfassung:A communications system includes a primary network communicating in accordance with a first communications protocol an out-of-band (OOB) network communicating in accordance with a second communications protocol. The primary network includes first and second primary network nodes, which are connected via a twisted-pair cable. The first primary network node is configured to transmit first communications protocol signals on the twisted-pair cable to the second primary network node. The OOB network includes first and second OOB network nodes, which are connected to the twisted-pair cable via a first OOB passive interface device connected between the first primary network node and the second primary network node. The second OOB network node is connected to the twisted-pair cable via a second OOB passive interface device connected between the first and second primary network nodes.
