III. Installation
The On-Q Home 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 CAT5e should be run in the walls from the
structured wiring enclosure location in the home where the On-Q
Home 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).
2. At the selected outlet locations, a single gang box or mud ring should
be installed, with the extra CAT5e 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 CAT5e 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 mud ring.
2. In the structured wiring enclosure the CAT5e from the outlets may
be terminated with a 110 punchdown tool onto an On-Q Home 5
Port Network Interface Module's RJ45 Inserts or with RJ-45 plugs
for direct connection to the On-Q Home 4 Port Router/Switch.
3. The On-Q Home 4 Port 10/100 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, CAT5e patch cables are then connected from the On-Q
Home 5 Port Network Interface Module to the input ports on the
OnQ 4-Port 10/100 Router/Switch.

5. An additional CAT5e patch cable is then connected from the network
(WAN) port of the 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch to the Cable Modem or
DSL Modem housed in the structured wiring enclosure.
6. The 4 Port 10/100 Router/Switch is powered with an AC to DC adapter
which also needs to be plugged in to an AC source.
7. Follow the steps in the next two sections for configuring the router.
NOTE: Use proper tools and standard TIA 568A rules to prep and
terminate the CAT5e cable, such as the On-Q Home CAT5 Cable
Stripper (P/N 363292-01), the On-Q Home EZ RJ45 Crimp Tool
(P/N 364555-01) and the On-Q Home 110 Punchdown Tool (P/N
363293-01).
