Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C Switch Getting Started Guide

Connecting to PoE Devices

You can connect the switch to IP devices such as IP phones and access points. Some switch models can power the IP device, depending upon the surplus power they have. See the switch hardware guide for information.

Step 1 When you connect the 10/100 or 10/100/1000 downlink ports to IP phones, wireless access points, and so on, connect a straight-through, twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable to a switch port.

Step 2 Connect the other cable end into an RJ-45 port on the other device.

Verify Port Connectivity

After you connect the switch port and another device, the port LED turns amber while the switch establishes a link. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then the LED turns green. If the LED turns off, the target device might not be turned on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter installed in the target device. See the “In Case of Difficulty” section on page 19 for information about online assistance.

In Case of Difficulty

If you experience difficulty, help is available in this section and also on Cisco.com. This section includes Express Setup troubleshooting, how to reset the switch, how to access help online, and where to find more information.
