Most cable nowadays is UTP unshielded twisted pair. There may be instances where you may need to connect to or transpose from the old "quad" cable.
The diagram below provides the transposition between these standards. A standard single line phone draws dial tone from these center pins. See background below. Depending on the application, the third circuit can either be the 3rd dial tone line on a three line phone or an accessory circuit for an electronic key phone.
However the method I used was a little different. I plugged a short patch cable from my patch panel to each port on my switch and turned it on. The next step is to take another patch cable and a laptop and plug it into each port in each room. Check the switch after each port and verify the "link" indicator is on.
Being able to establish a link tests the physical layer i. No IP addressing or anything needed for testing. This is also a good time to make sure your labeling matches on both ends. For example you can make sure that "Master Bedroom Port 2" on your patch panel actually goes to the second port in the master bedroom.
To the internet, and beyond! Now that we've got this fancy network, we want to connect it to the internet right?
First the cable modem setup. Since I moved my cable modem from my second bedroom office to the distribution room I needed to change the way my cable was split. Rather than the main cable into the house being split 3 ways I split things a little differently. I split the incoming cable with a 3-way splitter first. I connected the splitters using a male-male barrel connector. Now that the cable modem is in the right place we can continue with our network setup. Depending on your internet provider some of this setup may vary.
I'm going to discuss the specifics of my environment only. I'll provide tips for others when possible. From the "Trusted" port, I connected to the first switch port on my switch. If your switch has one, plug into the port labeled "Uplink" instead. Depending on the switch or cable modem and or router, you may need or already have crossover cables for these connections.
In addition my entire network is protected from outside access by the firewall. Although it is not integral to this instructable, I also plugged a wireless access point into my switch so that I can have wireless access as well. Since my wireless is both encrypted and has MAC filtering I feel comfortable with it on the "trusted" side of my firewall.
If for some reason I wanted to provide open wireless access but still protect my network I would need a different configuration of connections. I won't go into detail about these changes but I wanted to note them depending on what your network goals are and how they might incorporate wireless access. It also acts as a router and provides DHCP IP addresses to all other hosts on my private network via the switch and cabling we just installed.
What the hell do we do with it now?!? There are some cool additions that you can make to your home network that will make your geek friends drool! This allows me to stream all the multimedia on my server to either of my TVs! No more is watching Hulu or other media limited to just my computer screens. They don't care if you have "The Notebook" on your laptop, they only want to watch it on your TV! It's probably overkill but so is a Bugatti and we all want one of those.
If you can't afford one with enough ports for your entire network, you can segregate 2 networks. With the patch panel you could plug port 1 and 2 from each 4 port location into the gigabit switch and the other 2 into the slower switch.
But come on, you might as well blow the money and get the whole she-bang! Each card can record different shows from your cable and store them on the file server. Who still has a home phone!?! But if you need one, at least you can skip the phone company bill. IP Cameras - You can put security cameras in any room which you've run network drops to and record them to your file server.
No more worrying if the babysitter is shaking your kids or snooping in your bed room. Your wife or girlfriend might not like your sex lives on the internet though! Question 1 year ago on Step 2. You can run gigabit ethernet over cat5e; cat6 is not required.
While there are other benefits to cat6, it is also less flexible so more difficult to work with Question 3 years ago on Step 6. This is ALL I have for the whole house, requiring wireless. I really need to move my router location to a more practical "storage" area.
I saw your idea You have many Cat5e lines to the patch panel, instead of connecting them in one line to each jack splice? Do I begin by extending ONE long main 5catse from the phone box across home to a "patch panel" to get started?
How did you connect it from your main phonebox? Is that Cat5e line on the left of the patch panel the "main" line to power the rest of the Patch Panel?
What's the purpose of this piece? Then, next step up is firewall and modem. My current modem supposedly contains both in one box from the internet company. I also would like to set up a security hook up to cameras and a DVR to record when Im away which I am unsure how this is done with this arrangement, as the Cats5e cables have to individually connect from each cameras to plug into the DVR instead of the patch panel. Id really appreciate your input and guidance and possibly direct contact instead of boring people with lengthly confusion!
Thx - A. When I plug my laptop into the jack, nothing happens. It has an oil-resistant insulation to protect wires as the cable moves from duct to equipment or machinery. Connect devices such as sensors, programmable logic controllers, and actuators to an automated network.
