The network cabling at your site (from the wiring closet to the wall or cubicle
opening) may already be installed. If it is not, install the cabling following these
general guidelines.
CAUTION: It is recommended that a professional cable installer performs these
procedures. Be sure to adhere to local safety and regulatory codes during the
cable installation.
1 Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to your network. Usually, this connection is
done in a network wiring closet, via the patch panel.
2 Terminate the other end of the cable at the location where the IntelliJack is being
installed (using either a female or male RJ-45 connector).
Refer to the connector manufacturer's instructions for terminating the cable. Be
sure to test the connector and verify it is working.
The method for connecting the IntelliJack to the network is determined by how
your network cable is terminated (as described in the previous section, "Setting up
the Network Cabling at Your Site").
• If the end of the cable is terminated with a female RJ-45 connector, use the
RJ-45 coupler cable included in the package to connect the IntelliJack to the
network cable (recommended installation.)
