Step 1 When connecting to workstations, servers, routers, and Cisco IP Phones, connect
a straight-through Category 5 cable to an RJ-45 connector on the front panel

Category 5 cable. Pinouts for the cables are described in the “Crossover and
Straight-Through Cable Pinouts” sectiononpageB-4.

Note The Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch can connect to a Cisco IP Phone
through a straight-through, twisted-pair cable. The rear panel of the
Cisco IP Phone might have more than one RJ-45 jack. Use the
LAN-to-phone jack to connect the phone to the
Catalyst 3524-PWR XL switch. Refer to the documentation that
came with your Cisco IP Phone for information about connecting
devices to it.
