Catalyst 3560-C and 2960-C Switch Getting Started Guide
Connecting to PoE Devices
You can connect the switch to IP devices such as IP phones and access points. 
Some switch models can power the IP device, depending upon the surplus power 
they have. See the switch hardware guide for information.
Verify Port Connectivity
After you connect the switch port and another device, the port LED turns amber 
while the switch establishes a link. This process takes about 30 seconds, and then 
the LED turns green. If the LED turns off, the target device might not be turned 
on, there might be a cable problem, or there might be a problem with the adapter 
installed in the target device. See the “In Case of Difficulty” section on page 19 
for information about online assistance.
In Case of Difficulty
If you experience difficulty, help is available in this section and also on 
Cisco.com. This section includes Express Setup troubleshooting, how to reset the 
switch, how to access help online, and where to find more information.
Step 1
When you connect the 10/100 or 10/100/1000 
downlink ports to IP phones, wireless access 
points, and so on, connect a straight-through, 
twisted four-pair, Category 5 cable to a switch 
port.
Step 2
Connect the other cable end into an RJ-45 port on the other device.
