AKING ETWORK

Connecting Devices to the Management Port

1. Attach one end of a twisted-pair cable segment to the device's RJ-45
connector.
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.") Otherwise, attach the other end to the management
port on the switch.
Make sure each twisted pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 ft)
in length.
3. As a connection is made, the management port's Link LED (on this
switch) will light to indicate that the connection is valid.

Caution: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45
port. This will damage the switch. Use only twisted-pair cables
with RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.
