Connecting to the Network
3-14 Installation
To connect and verify UTP cable connections to RJ45 ports 1 through 48, refer to Figure 3‐4
and proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the device connected to the other end of the segment is powered ON.
2. Insert the RJ45 connector on the twisted pair segment into the appropriate RJ45 port
connector.
3. Verify that a link exists by checking that the port RX (Receive) LED is ON (flashing
amber, blinking green, or solid green). If the RX LED is OFF and the TX (Transmit)
LED is not blinking amber, perform the following steps until it is on:
a. To view the receive and transmit activity on a group of segments, press the
GROUP SELECT button for less than one second (see
Figure 3‐4 ) to step to the
group of interest (Groups 1 through 4).
b. Each time the GROUP SELECT button is pressed for less that one second, the
GROUP LED lights up in sequence, indicating which Group is selected. The
receive and transmit activity for that group of segments is then indicated by the
RX and TX LEDs for each segment.

Note: If the RX and TX LEDs of a port do not indicate a link and the end-point device is a
PD, you may have a port without 48 Vdc to operate the PD. To check the PoE Port Status,
refer to
“Verifying PoE Port Status” on page 3-17.
