• Do network devices communicate when the StackMaster
TX12 is not installed between them?
• Is flat or “silver satin” wire used in site internal wiring?
• Are internal wiring patch cords, punch down blocks, and
wall jacks properly pinned or configured?
• Are network interface cards properly configured?
