Making Network Connections

4-2

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 2.) 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.
