4 Making Network Connections

See Appendix B: for further information on cabling.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.

Connecting to PCs, Servers, Hubs and Switches

1.Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device’s RJ-45 connector.

Figure 4-1 Making Twisted-Pair Connections

2.If the device is a PC card and the switch is in the wiring closet, attach the other end of the cable segment to a modular wall outlet that is connected to the wiring closet. (See “Network Wiring Connections” on page 4-2.)Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on the switch.

3.Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft) in length.

4.As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch) corresponding to each port will light green (1000 Mbps) or amber (10/100 Mbps) to indicate that the connection is valid.

Network Wiring Connections

Today, the punch-down block is an integral part of many of the newer equipment racks. It is actually part of the patch panel. Instructions for making connections in the wiring closet with this type of equipment follows.
