Networking Basics
Maybe the title of this thread should read "I got screwed" and it should be in the home and home renovation forum, but it's a long story... Basically it boils down to this...I need some help...The situation:
This year, my parents finished building a house, they hired a useless goon to do the low voltage wiring for the house and the guy never got the job done... So now I got a brand new house with cat 5 cable running through it, and all leading into one panel, along with the phone lines and cable etc. It should've been a smart panel of sorts, but I'll never know cause it's just a hole in the wall right now with a bunch of cat 5 cables sticking out of it. The guy finished the cable and phone lines, but bolted before the cat 5 shit was completed... So this is where I need help.
Does anyone know where I should start (ie links) ? The cables have been run, and meet at the panel...but what next? I feel like it's just basic networking, but I just can't seem to find any sources on the web that make sense for my situation, and clearly I have very limited knowledge of networking...I'm certain I can finish the job, just don't know where to start...
ps. I'll post a pic of the panel later... If something I said didn't make sense, I can clarify!
