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”).
• If the end of the cable is terminated with a female RJ-45 connector, use the
RJ-45 coupler cable included in the package to connect the Network Jack to
the network cable (recommended installation.)
• If the end of the cable is terminated with a male connector, connect the
network cable directly into the Ethernet uplink port.
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.
