Figure 3-12 Connecting a network cable

Step 6 Connect the other end of the network cable to the peer network port.

Connect the other cable connector to the peer device based on the network plan.

Note the following:

●

Connect the new network cable to the same port as the removed one.

●

Install the network cable in the network port securely.

Step 7 Check that the new network cable is functioning properly.

Power on the device, and ping the peer device connected by the new network

cable. If the peer device cannot be pinged, check whether the network cable is

damaged or the connectors are not secured.

Step 8 Bind the new network cable with other cables.

Bind the new network cable in the same way as the existing network cables. You

can also remove all cable ties and bind all of the network cables again if

necessary.
