About the NJ205 IntelliJack  
The 3Com NJ205 is part of the IntelliJack family of products that  
provides connectivity at the edge of the network infrastructure.  
The NJ205 IntelliJack is a 4-port, un-managed Fast Ethernet  
switch that fits into most standard data port openings.  
The NJ205 IntelliJack quadruples port connections where a single  
port (and cable) already exists in the wall. Expanding port  
connections with the 3Com IntelliJack is a less expensive and less  
disruptive alternative to running additional cabling. Also, the  
3Com IntelliJack is installed in the wall, making it more secure  
and out of the way than deploying a remote desktop switch.  
The NJ205 IntelliJack allows up to four networking devices, such  
as computers, printers, Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones, and  
scanners, to be connected to the network via its own Ethernet  
port. A pass-through port is provided that allows an additional  
device to be connected to a separate network segment through  
the same IntelliJack.  
All ports feature 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation, which  
configures the NJ205 IntelliJack for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps  
connections automatically.  
The NJ205 needs no software to operate and no configuration.  
However, to modify the default configuration and utilize the  
advanced feature we have provided a configuration manager  
software suite on compact disk.

3
4
Set up the power supply.  
Mount the NJ205 to the wall outlet box.  
Connect devices to the NJ205.  
Check the NJ205 LEDs.  
Setting up the Pow er Supply  
Power to the IntelliJack is provided through one of the following  
methods:  
Over the network via an integrated switch that supports  
Power Over Ethernet.  
Over the network via an Ethernet multi-port endspan power  
supply.  
Over the network via a single-port Ethernet power supply.  
Locally via a 3Com local power supply.  
NOTE: Power Over Ethernet, also known as in-line  
power, is a method to provide power to equipment over  
an Ethernet cable, allowing a device to receive both data  
and power from the same network cable. The NJ205 is  
ideally powered by a switch that is IEEE 802.3af-  
compliant. The NJ205 can also be powered by some  
switches that are not 802.3af-compliant. Consult the  
3Com web site for more information.

existing network cabling meets the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568 standard  
and that the port in the wiring closet is connected to an active  
Ethernet MDI-X port.  
1
Thread both IntelliJack LAN cables through the opening in  
the mounting plate.  
2
Connect the wiring as illustrated on page 8.  
The IntelliJack has two Ethernet cables each terminated  
with a male RJ-45 connector.  
The white cable connects the LAN to the four personal  
area network (PAN) ports located on the bottom of the  
IntelliJack.  
The black cable connects the LAN to the single pass-  
through port located on the front of the IntelliJack.  
3
4
Choose one pair of the provided screws that best fits your  
outlet box.  
Tighten the screws while holding the IntelliJack in place.  
NOTE: The IntelliJack is designed to be mounted  
using the provided mounting plate or many after-  
market faceplates. However, some after-market  
faceplates stand out from the wall and do not  
provide a secure mounting surface for the IntelliJack.  
In such cases it is recommended to place the 3Com  
spacer between the IntelliJack and the after-market  
face plate. For more information on the different  
mounting plates and spacers, see Appendix B.

Connecting Devices to the IntelliJack  
Once the power source and the data source have been verified in  
good working order and the IntelliJack has been installed and  
mounted, connect your networking devices (such as computers,  
printers, IP phones, cameras, etc.) to the IntelliJack.  
The IntelliJack has two ways to connect devices:  
1
RJ-45 Personal Area Network (PAN) Ports — any of the four  
switched ports on the bottom of the IntelliJack. All ports feature  
10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation, which configures the NJ205  
IntelliJack for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps connections automatically.  
2
Pass-through port—a single pass-through port is provided  
that allows an additional device to be connected to a  
separate network segment through the same IntelliJack. The  
data or voice traffic that travels through the pass-through  
port, passes through the IntelliJack without being switched.

Configuration Managers  
Once you have installed the NJ205 hardware, you need to  
configure it for use on your particular network. To configure the  
NJ205, install the Local and Central Configuration Managers.  
NOTE: You will use the Local Configuration  
Manager for initial configuration of the NJ205  
on your network. It is usually easiest if you load  
this software on a laptop and use it to configure  
NJ205 devices as you install them.  
The NJ205 Central Configuration Manager is  
used for advanced configuration and  
management of one or more NJ205 devices on  
your network. This software should be installed  
on the machine you plan to use to manage your  
NJ205 devices from a remote location—perhaps  
the same console you use for SNMP  
management.

Configuration Manager  
You should use the Local Configuration Manager to initialize  
each of the NJ205 IntelliJacks installed on your network. Once  
you have completed that step, you can manage all of them with  
the Central Configuration Manager.  
Install this program on any computer on your network you want  
to use as a central management console. (See the previous  
chapter, Installing the Configuration Managers,” for help). You  
can use the same machine that has your SNMP-based  
management platform. The Central Configuration Manager will  
be able to configure and manage all of the IntelliJacks that reside  
on your network.  
Discovering NJ205 Devices on Your Netw ork  
In order to manage the NJ205 IntelliJacks on your network, the  
Central Configuration Manager needs to include them in its  
database. The easiest way to add new NJ205 IntelliJacks to the  
database is to use the device discovery tool included in the  
Central Configuration Manager. The first time you run the  
Central Configuration Manager, it will automatically take you to  
the Discovery window as shown under step one below.

Installation Planning  
WARNING: The NJ205 is designed to be  
mounted using the provided mounting plate or  
many after-market faceplates. However, some  
after-market faceplates stand out from the wall  
and do not provide a secure mounting surface  
for the IntelliJack. In such cases, it is  
recommended to place the 3Com spacer  
between the IntelliJack and the after-market  
face plate.  
To ensure proper horizontal cabling functionality, adhere to the  
following standards during installation:  
ANSI/TIA/EIA-568  
Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard  
ANSI/TIA/EIA-569  
Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications  
Pathways and Spaces  
BRITISH STANDARD INSTITUTE (BSI): BS 4664:1970 (1986)  
The network cabling at your site (from the wiring closet to the  
wall or cubicle opening) may already be installed. If it is not,  
install the cabling following these general guidelines.  
CAUTION: It is recommended that a professional  
cable installer perform these procedures. Be sure to  
adhere to local safety and regulatory codes during  
the cable installation.

Compliance Information  
3Com Corporation Limited Warranty  
This warranty applies to customers located in the United States, Australia, Canada  
(except Quebec), Ireland, New Zealand, U.K., and other English language countries,  
and countries for which a translation into the local language is not provided.  
3CoNJ205  
Hardw are  
3Com warrants to the end user ("Customer") that this hardware product will be  
substantially free from material defects in workmanship and materials, under normal  
use and service, for the following length of time from the date of purchase from  
3Com or its authorized reseller:  
Limited Lifetime, for as long as the original Customer owns the product or for 5 years  
after product discontinuance, whichever occurs first (not transferable to a  
subsequent end user). FOR NON-US CUSTOMERS: Where a limited lifetime warranty  
is not permitted by local law, a 10 year warranty period shall be given by 3Com. The  
duration of this warranty shall be modified where necessary to meet any minimum  
warranty period required by law.  
3Coms sole obligation under this express warranty shall be, at 3Com’s option and  
expense, to repair the defective product or part, deliver to Customer an equivalent  
product or part to replace the defective item, or if neither of the two foregoing  
options is reasonably available, refund to Customer the purchase price paid for the  
defective product. All products that are replaced will become the property of 3Com.  
Replacement products or parts may be new or reconditioned. 3Com warrants any  
replaced or repaired product or part for ninety (90) days from shipment, or the  
remainder of the initial warranty period, whichever is longer.

Limited Warranty and Regulatory Compliance Information  
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE  
Customer must contact a 3Com Corporate Service Center or an Authorized 3Com  
Service Center within the applicable warranty period to obtain warranty service  
authorization. Dated proof of purchase from 3Com or its authorized reseller may be  
required. A User Service Order (USO), Return Material Authorization (RMA) or Service  
Repair Order (SRO) number will be issued. This number must be marked on the  
outside of the package sent to 3Coms Corporate Service Center. The product must  
be packaged appropriately for safe shipment and sent prepaid. It is recommended  
that returned products be insured or sent by a method that provides for tracking of  
the package. Responsibility for loss or damage does not transfer to 3Com until the  
returned item is received by 3Com. 3Com will retain risk of loss or damage until the  
item is delivered to Customer. For non-US Customers, the word 'prepaid' shall be  
omitted where this requirement is not permitted by law. The allocation of  
responsibility for loss or damage stated shall be subject to any mandatory legal  
requirements. 3Com shall not be responsible for any software, firmware,  
information, or memory data of Customer contained in, stored on, or integrated  
with any products returned to 3Com for repair, whether under warranty or not.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY  
TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, 3COM ALSO EXCLUDES FOR ITSELF AND  
ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS ANY LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT OR

implied warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages for

their entirety, they will be limited to the duration of the applicable written warranty.  
This warranty gives you specific legal rights which may vary depending on local law.

This Limited Warranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of California,  
U.S.A., and by the laws of the United States, excluding their conflicts of laws  
principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
