Connecting Devices to the Token-Ring Ports Using Building Wiring
If you will use building wiring (in-the-wall cables) to connect the device to the
8270-800, perform the following steps:
Step
1. Using the IBM 8270 Cabling Chart provided by your administrator as a
guide, connect the cables between the devices and the faceplates as
illustrated in Figure 2-14.

Step
2. Label the faceplates, so that it will be easier to find the devices if you
have to troubleshoot a network problem.
Step
3. In the wiring closet, connect a cable to the Token-Ring connector on the
patch panel or other equipment where the building wiring terminates.
Note: Do not connect these cables to the RI or RO port on a media
access unit.
Step
4. Connect the other end of the cable to a Token-Ring port on the 8270-800.
Step
5. Label this cable.
Step
6. Dress the 8270 end of the cables, through the cable management
bracket.
Step
7. To continue installing the 8270, continue with “Powering On the 8270” on
page 2-24.
