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 4-3.) Otherwise, attach the other end to an available port on
the switch.
Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft)
in length.
3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch)
corresponding to each port turns on to indicate that the connection is
valid.
