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 network 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 the section “Network Wiring
Connections” on page 4-3) 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.
Note:
Avoid using flow control on a port connected to a hub unless it is
actually required to solve a problem. Otherwise back pressure
jamming signals may degrade overall performance for the segment
attached to the hub.
3. As each connection is made, the Link LED (on the switch)
corresponding to each port will light to indicate that the connection is
valid.
