MAKING NETWORK CONNECTIONS

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 “Wiring Closet Connections” on the next page.) 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 to indicate that the connection is valid.

Note: Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment.
