Connecting Devices to the Token-Ring Ports 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. If you have a UEM, connect it using the instructions in the documentation
shipped with it and then return here.
2. 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 18.
3. Label the faceplate, so that it will be easier to find the device if you have to
troubleshoot a network problem.
4. In the wiring closet, connect a cable to the Token-Ring connector on the patch
panel or other equipment where the building wiring terminates.
➽ Note:
On CrossFire 8600, do not connect these cables to the Ring-In or Ring-Out
port on a media access unit (MAU) unless you use port 19 or 20 on the switch.
5. Connect the other end of the cable to a Token-Ring port on the switch.
