Using Building Wiring
If you will use building wiring (in-the-wall cables) to connect the device to the
switch, perform the following steps:
1. Using the Switch Cabling Chart provided by your administrator as a guide,
connect the cables between the devices and the faceplates as illustrated in
Figure 20.
2. Label the faceplate, so that it will be easier to find the device if you have to
troubleshoot a network problem.
3. In the wiring closet, connect a cable to the Token Ring connector on the patch
panel or other equipment where the building wiring terminates.
