Using the RJ-45 Connectors
To connect:
Push the RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45
jack until the tab on the plug clicks
into place. When power is on for the
switch and for the connected device,
the Link LED for the port should light
to confirm a powered-on device (for
example, an end node) is at the other
end of the cable.
If the Link LED does not go on when
the network cable is connected to the
port, see “Diagnosing with the LEDs”
in chapter 3, “Troubleshooting”.
To disconnect:
Press the small tab on the plug and
pull the plug out of the jack
.
