Overview of the NJ2000 and Its Features
The front of the NJ2000 has four gigabit LAN ports for local switching. The
gigabit LAN uplink port on the rear connects it to the rest of the network.
The NJ2000 brings gigabit switching capabilities to any single port on an
Ethernet network by allowing connections for up to four networking devices
such as computers, servers, access points, IP cameras, and Voice Over IP (VoIP)
telephones to the network through a single Ethernet connection.
All 5 LAN ports feature 10/100/1000 Mbps with auto-negotiation and auto
MDI-X. The NJ2000 also provides 2 pass-through ports that can be used to
connect 2 additional devices to separate network segments through the same
unit.

3
Power is provided to the NJ2000 either through the uplink port via 802.3at or
802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) or locally via an optional, external 48V DC
power supply, 3CNJ1000PSL.
NOTE: PoE, or Power Over Ethernet, is a method for providing power to
equipment over an Ethernet cable, allowing a device to receive both data and
power from the same network cable. PoE power may be provided on port 1 or
port 2 of the NJ2000 if there is sufficient power available to the system. See
the section “Understand the PoE Capabilities for Port 1 and Port 2” later in this
guide for details.
NJ2000 Basics
This diagram shows the front and side views of the NJ2000. The table
describes the features.
Feature Description
14 Gigabit LAN
switch ports
with LEDs
Allows you to connect up to four devices to the network.
A green LED indicates connection status when a device is using a
particular port.
Port 1 and port 2 are also power-forwarding ports; they can be used
with any standard networking device as well as to power any device
that requires IEEE 802.3af-compatible PoE.
An additional LED indicates when the port is forwarding power to a
device connected to that port.
2Two pass-through
ports The pass-through ports bypass the functionality of the switch and are directly wired to the associated pass-through ports on the rear of the
unit. Pass-through ports allow connection to a separate network
segment or connection of an analog or digital PBX telephone.
3Power LEDs:
•DC
•PoE
Indicate whether the NJ2000 is being powered by a local power
supply (DC) or PoE.

the unit.
A green LED indicates a valid connection for the uplink port.
5Local Power Socket Can be used to power the NJ2000 with the optional local power
supply, 3CNJ1000PSL. NOTE: This power supply is required if the
local network does not supply Power over Ethernet.

Observe All Safety Precautions
This equipment must be installed in compliance with local and national
building codes, regulatory restrictions, and FCC rules. See the section
“Regulatory Notices” at the end of this guide. For the safety of people and
equipment, only professional network personnel should install the NJ2000.
Check the Shipment
The NJ2000 is available in single- and 20-unit packs. Make sure that you have
the following items, which are included with each NJ2000:
•NJ2000
•Screw kit for wall mounting the NJ2000
•Male-to-male RJ-45 coupler cables (2 per NJ2000) for connecting the
Ethernet cable from the network to the NJ2000. NOTE: For use only if the
network cable is terminated with a female RJ-45 connector.
The following optional items may be useful, depending on your specific
installation requirements and the PoE capability of your network. If you
choose to use any of these items, be sure that they are on hand before
you begin the installation.
WARNING: To avoid possible injury or damage to equipment, you must
use power supply equipment that is safety certified according to UL, CSA,
IEC, or other applicable national or international safety requirements for
the country of use. All references to power supply in this document refer to
equipment meeting these requirements.

Installation Overview for the NJ2000
Detailed installation instructions are included in the sections that follow.
The following diagram displays an overview of the recommended installation.
In this example, the NJ2000 is being connected to an Ethernet network cable
that is terminated with a female RJ-45 connector.

7
1. Understand the Power Options
Power to the NJ2000 can be supplied in one of these ways:
•Through PoE (either 802.3at or 802.3af) applied to the uplink port
or
•Through the optional local external power supply
If power is supplied to the uplink port by 802.3at or by the external power
supply, then ports 1 and 2 may act as PoE PSE (Power Source Equipment) and
may also provide power to other devices plugged into those ports.
If power is supplied by 802.3af, then port 1 and 2 will not be able to supply
PoE power.
2. Understand the PoE Capabilities for Port 1 and Port 2
If power is supplied by 802.3at through the uplink port (PD) or if power is
supplied through the external power supply, then ports 1 and 2 may in turn
act as PoE PSE and may provide power.
If power is provided to the NJ2000 by the uplink port (PD) with 802.3at PoE or
with the external power supply, then the NJ2000 will have a total PoE PSE
budget of 15.4W, which can be divided between port 1 and port 2 based on
the class-based power management feature.
The NJ2000 can power these combinations of devices:
•One Class 0,3 PD device or
•Two Class 2 PD devices or
•Two Class 1 PD devices or
•One Class 1 PD device and One Class 2 PD device
CAUTION: You must use only a power supply that is provided or approved by
3Com for use with this NJ2000. Failure to comply with this requirement may
result in damage to the NJ2000, or may result in a hazardous situation or
personal injury.

3. Plan the Installation
When installed, the back of the NJ2000 extends into a wall for 0.5 inches.
Because the depth of some wall openings differs, observe the following
requirements and recommendations before you install the NJ2000:
•Make sure that the wall opening where the NJ2000 is being installed
complies with the NEMA-WD6 standard, as described in this diagram:
•Make sure that the distance between the back of the NJ2000 and the
inside of the wall is at least 1.5 inches (3 inches is recommended).
NOTE: If you are installing the NJ2000 into a wall junction box, make sure that
there is enough space between the back of the NJ2000 and the inside of the
junction box to maintain an acceptable bend radius on the cable.
•To ensure proper horizontal cabling functionality, adhere to the following
network cabling standards during installation:
•ANSI/TIA/EIA-568
Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard
•ANSI/TIA/EIA-569
Commercial Building Standard for Telecommunications Pathways and
Spaces

4. Attach the Wall-Mount Bracket
Attach the included wall-mount bracket to the wall opening as shown in this
diagram.
5. Set Up the Network Cabling
The network cabling (from the wiring closet to the wall opening) may already
be installed. If it is not, install the cabling following these general guidelines.
CAUTION: 3Com recommends that a professional cable installer perform
these procedures. Be sure to adhere to local safety and regulatory codes
during the cable installation.
1Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the network. Usually, this
connection is made in a network wiring closet, via the patch panel.
2Terminate the other end of the cable at the location where the NJ2000 is
being installed (using either a female or male RJ-45 connector). Refer to
the connector manufacturer's instructions for terminating the cable. Be
sure to test the connector and verify that it is working.

10
6. Connect the NJ2000 to the Network
The method for connecting the NJ2000 to the network is determined by how
the network cable is terminated, as described in step 5.
•If the end of the cable is terminated with a female RJ-45 connector, use
one of the RJ-45 coupler cables included in the NJ2000 package to
connect the NJ2000 to the network cable.
•If the end of the cable is terminated with a male connector, connect the
network cable directly into the Ethernet uplink port.
7. Mount the NJ2000 to the Wall
After you connect the NJ2000 to the network, follow these steps, as shown in
the next figure:
1Mount the NJ2000 to the wall-mount bracket.
CAUTION: Make sure that the vents along the edges of the NJ2000 faceplate
are clear of any obstructions to allow airflow to vents.
2Slide the NJ2000 onto the wall-mount bracket, ensuring that the 4 hooks
on the bracket fit into the 4 slots on the back of the NJ2000.
3Pull the NJ2000 down to lock the hooks tightly into the slots. Be sure to
match the screwholes in the bracket and the NJ2000. Secure the NJ2000
using the T-10 torx screw that came in the NJ2000 package
