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 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:
3. The CAT5e that was secured at each of the outlets should be pulled out and terminated with a
punchdown tool on an RJ45 insert and attached to a wallplate, which is then installed in the single
gang box or mud ring.
4. In the structured wiring enclosure the CAT5e from the outlets may be terminated with a
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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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) and the On-Q Home EZ RJ45 Crimp Tool (P/N
364555-01).
