Connecting Devices to the Token-Ring Ports Using Building Wiring

If you will use building wiring (in-the-wall cables) to connect the device to the switch, perform the following steps:

1.If you have a UEM, connect it using the instructions in the documentation shipped with it and then return here.

2.Using the Switch Cabling Chart provided by your administrator as a guide, connect the cables between the devices and the faceplates as illustrated in Figure 18.

3.Label the faceplate, so that it will be easier to find the device if you have to troubleshoot a network problem.

4.In the wiring closet, connect a cable to the Token-Ring connector on the patch panel or other equipment where the building wiring terminates.

➽Note: On CrossFire 8600, do not connect these cables to the Ring-In or Ring-Out port on a media access unit (MAU) unless you use port 19 or 20 on the switch.

5.Connect the other end of the cable to a Token-Ring port on the switch.
