Add Jacks to the Jack Field
To add jack boxes to the jack field, do the following:
1

Position the jack panel box so that the door with the handle is on the right
(as you face it), and attach it to the top box in the rightmost column of
boxes already in the jack field by meshing the tongues and grooves.
Use appropriate screws to attach the jack panel box to the mounting
surface that supports the jack field.
Pull the two plastic caps off the connecting block on the 4-line adapter,
and set the caps aside. You’ll need the caps again in a later step.
Snap the 4-line adapter into the jack panel box so that the jacks on the
adapter face to the right. If you have more than four outside lines,
remove the plastic caps from the other adapters and snap them into the
box in the same way.
Connect the Outside Lines to the Jack Field
To connect outside lines to the jack field, do the following:

Attach the connector on the 25-pair cable to the 50-pin connector at the
network interface.
Slit the jacket at the free end of the 25-pair cable, and cut away as much
of the jacket as necessary to allow the individual twisted pairs of colored
wires to reach the adapter(s) in the jack field.
Following the order and color code, place the colored wires in the grooves
on the block of the adapter. If you have more than four outside lines,
continue placing wires in grooves on the remaining adapters until you
have attached a pair of wires for each outside line.
Align the two plastic caps over the grooved block that holds the colored
wires on the adapter, and push the caps down until they snap into place.
If you have more than one adapter, do the same with each of them.
If the caps did not trim the wires when you snapped them down onto the
block, use a pair of scissors to trim the ends of the wire protruding from
the grooves. When you’re finished, none of the wires should extend far
enough beyond the plastic caps to touch each other.
Label the Jacks and the Jack Panel Box
You should have a label sheet that includes a telephone number directory,
jack-identifier label strips, and labels for the jack panel box and the line jacks.
To label the jacks in the box, do the following:
1
2
3
4
On the telephone number directory, fill in the telephone numbers for your
outside lines in the order in which they appear at the network interface or
on the list provided by the local telephone company.
Using the telephone number directory as a guide, label the jacks in the
jack panel box with the appropriate line jack labels.
Attach the label to the outside of the right door of the jack panel box.
Attach the long, narrow label showing jacks 1 through 8 to the inside of
the right door of the jack panel box.
