I've tested the input and it's live (see here.) Yet the outputs aren't live (pic) and do not light up the ethernet LEDs like the input wire did. I've looked through both an installer's manual for the Home Director from 1998 and an owner's manual for the Home Network Connection Center and couldn't find any information on this. Here's a closer look at the switch ports. (pic) Any help is appreciated, thank you. 9 comments share save hide report 100 Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best I just updated the links with the larger pictures. You Need to just get a switch (or maybe a router depending what the input is coming from) and connect all your cables to that.My home was built in 2005 and we have most of the parts save for the power connectors. Anyone have any information on the cable side of things. Networking wise, running a LAN through a cable modem but I am intrigued to use the box if I can split and amplify the coaxial signal after the modem for TV use inside.

The FC5022 can be configured in the Access Gateway mode using NPIV for simple upstream connectivity or in the Full Fabric more for more advance switching as a part of the larger Fibre Channel fabric. Monitoring and management are simplified using end-to-end Brocade tools, such as Web Tools and the Brocade Network Advisor (BNA). The ELW SFPs are not available for selection for the non-ESB FC5022 switch modules (part numbers 88Y6374 and 00Y3324). With the 16 Gb SAN switch, the first 12 ports reporting (on a first-come, first-served basis) on boot-up are assigned licenses. These 12 ports can be any combination of external or internal Fibre Channel (FC) ports. After all port licenses have been assigned, you can manually move those licenses from one port to another. Because this is dynamic, no defined ports are reserved except ports 0 and 29. The 24-port 16 Gb SAN switches have the same behavior; the only difference is the number of ports, which is 24. Upgrade 1 and Upgrade 2 can be applied independently of each other. These 28 internal ports also enable greater path redundancy for ITEs using the 4-port FC mezzanine adapters.Brocade Fabric Vision Technology offers innovative diagnostic, monitoring, and management capabilities to help administrators avoid problems, maximize application performance, and reduce operational costs. The FC5022 enables secure long distance extensions to virtual private or hybrid clouds with dark fiber support, as well as in-flight encryption and data compression.
This makes it transparent to the SAN fabric, greatly reducing management of the network edge. The FC5022 Scalable Switch in Access Gateway mode can connect servers to NPIV-enabled SAN fabrics, including Brocade or Cisco SAN fabrics. Ports are auto-sensing and activated with the Dynamic Ports on Demand feature. The factory-installed licenses include: Replaces (ANSI INCITS 388: 2004) A supported adapter card must be installed in a corresponding slot of the compute node (slot 1 when switches are installed in bays 1 and 2 or slot 2 when switches are in bays 3 and 4). With 8 Gb FC adapters, internal ports on a switch operate at 8 Gb speeds. This mini-USB-style connector enables connection of a special serial cable (cable is optional and it is not included with the switch; see the part number information section for details). When installed in a chassis, these switches assume your system’s base warranty and any Lenovo warranty service upgrade. A current list of Lenovo trademarks is available on the Web at.

It is IBM's policy to conduct itself ethically and lawfully in all matters and to maintain IBM's high standards of business integrity. Employees must at all times comply with IBM's business conduct and related guidelines. Violation of any IBM guideline is cause for discipline, including dismissal from the company. Employees should consult their management immediately if they have any question whether their actions could violate an IBM guideline. Furthermore, it is IBM's practice to voluntarily and promptly disclose known violations of government procurement laws to appropriate officials of government. In the event that IBM benefited economically from such known violations, it is our practice to reimburse the government customer accordingly.
IBM employees should immediately make known to appropriate levels of management, either directly or through the Open Door or Speak-Up programs, any and all allegations of violations in connection with any government contract. The Senior Vice President and General Counsel is responsible for providing specific instructions regarding business conduct and ethics and, as appropriate, directing periodic reviews, including business conduct guideline certification programs, to ensure compliance. Each operating unit or subsidiary is responsible for implementing such instructions, including administering certification programs. In effect since August 15, 1995; replaces earlier policy dated November 10, 1986. Reciprocity It is IBM's policy neither to buy nor to sell on a reciprocity basis. To maintain the high performance standards of our products, we must base all our purchases on quality, price and the supplier's reliability. To use reciprocity as a purchasing consideration would limit our field of supply and could jeopardize our product quality and price. In addition, we should never use our extensive purchases to aid our selling efforts. We must leave customers free to buy, unhampered by any reciprocity considerations. In effect since November 10, 1966; replaces earlier policy dated January 26, 1961. Workforce diversity and inclusion The employees of IBM represent a talented and diverse workforce. Achieving the full potential of this diversity is a business priority that is fundamental to our competitive success. A key element in our workforce diversity programs is IBM's long-standing commitment to equal opportunity and an inclusive workplace. IBM has more than 100 years of work on diversity, inclusion and equality in the workplace. That legacy, and our continued commitment to advance equity in a global society, has made us leaders in diversity and inclusion.
Guided by our values and beliefs, we’re proud to foster an environment where every IBMer is able to thrive because of their differences, not in spite of them. IBM has taken and will continue to take a bold stand in favor of equal opportunity for all. It is the policy of this organization to continue to engage in activities such as hiring, promotion and compensation of employees, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, pregnancy, disability, age and other characteristics. IBM makes reasonable accommodations available where the Company believes they are appropriate to enable employees with disabilities and others to effectively perform their jobs. In respecting and valuing the diversity among our employees and all those with whom we do business, managers and employees are expected to foster a work environment free of all forms of discrimination, harassment, bullying and retaliation. This policy is based on sound business judgment and anchored in our IBM Values. Every manager in IBM is expected to abide by our policy, and all applicable laws on this subject, and to uphold IBM’s commitment to workforce diversity and inclusion. In effect since June, 2020; replaces earlier policy dated January 1, 2003. Therefore, it is the policy of the IBM Company not to make contributions of resources such as money, goods or services to political candidates or parties. This policy applies equally in all countries where IBM does business, regardless of whether or not such contributions are considered legal in any host country. We encourage IBM employees to participate in political activity in their individual communities and countries. The company will do everything reasonable to accommodate employees who need to be away from work while running for or holding political office, or fulfilling significant party duties during a campaign or election.
