Installing the Network Jack
19
Setting up the Network Cabling at Your Site
The network cabling at your site (from the wiring closet to the
wall or cubicle opening) may already be installed. If it is not,
install the cabling following these general guidelines.
1
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your network.
Usually, this connection is done in a network wiring closet,
via the patch panel.
2
Terminate the other end of the cable at the location where
the Network Jack is being installed (using either a female or
male RJ-45 connector).
Refer to the connector manufacturer’s instructions for
terminating the cable. Be sure to test the connector and
verify it is working.
Connecting the Network Jack to the Network
The method for connecting the Network Jack to the network
is determined by how your network cable is terminated (as
described in the previous section, “Setting up the Network
Cabling at Your Site”).
CAUTION:
It is recommended that a professional cable
installer performs these procedures. Be sure to adhere
to local safety and regulatory codes during the cable
installation.
CAUTION:
Make sure the port on the network switch to
which the Network Jack is connected is configured as a
standard MDI-X port.
