1.4 Installation
The DA1054 4 Port Router/Switch is best installed during new construction in two steps; at “rough-
in” after the Electricians are done, but prior to drywall being installed, and at “trim-out” after the
drywall is installed and painted. These steps are detailed below:
A. “Rough-in” steps:
1.
A single dedicated Cat 5e/6 should be run in the walls from the structured wiring
enclosure location in the home where the 4 Port Router/Switch will be installed to each
outlet location in the rooms where Internet service is required (leave extra cable at both
ends).
NOTE: Run Cat 5e/6 cable at least 12” from electrical cabling (preferably in a separate
stud cavity) and cross electrical cables at a 90° angle. Use loose Velcro-style cable ties
for bundling. If stapling is required, use specialty staples to avoid compressing the
cable.
2.
At the selected outlet locations, a single gang box or low voltage bracket should be
installed, with the extra Cat 5e/6 cable in the box, or attached in such a way that it may be
fished out after the drywall is installed.
B. “Trim-out” steps:
1.
The Cat 5e/6 that was secured at each of the outlets should be pulled out and terminated
with a 110 punchdown tool on an RJ45 insert and attached to a wallplate, which is then
installed in the single gang box or low voltage bracket.
2.
In the structured wiring enclosure the Cat 5e from the outlets may be terminated with a
110 punchdown tool onto a Legrand Network Interface Module or with RJ-45 plugs, using
a tool such as our EZ RJ45 Modular Plug Hand Toll (P/N 364555-01) for direct connection
to the DA1054 4 Port Gigabit Router/Switch.
3.
The 4 Port Gigabit Router/Switch is installed in the structured wiring enclosure by slipping
the tabs into the square holes, and using the push pin in a round hole to secure the router.
4.
If the outlet cables were punched down at a Network Interface Module, Cat 5e/6 patch
cables (available separately) are then connected from the 6 Port Network Interface
Module to the input ports on the 4-Port Gigabit Router/Switch.
5.
An additional Cat 5e/6 patch cable is then connected from the network (WAN) port of the
4 Port Gigabit Router/Switch to the Cable Modem or DSL Modem housed in the
structured wiring enclosure and make sure the routing switch is in the “On” position.
