Part 1 - Cable Build / Test

Objective:
Build an Ethernet 10BaseT straight-through cable to connect a workstation to a hub or switch. Use
UTP CAT5 cable and wire all eight conductors using the correct wire colors and pins for either a
T568A or T568B wiring standards. Test the cable with a cable tester to verify continuity, correct
pinouts and cable length. This cable can be used to connect your workstation to the hub or switch for
exam part 2.

Directions:
Obtain a piece of CAT 5 cable (length may vary depending on use) and two RJ45 connectors. Use a
crimping tool to attach the RJ 45 connectors to the cable. Use a cable tester to test the cable to verify
that is functional. Indicate which cabling pinout standard (T568A or T568B) you will use _______
The following tests are pass / fail:

1) Are the correct wires in the correct positions on pins 1 through 8? Initial _______

2) Does the cable test OK with a cable tester? Initial _______

Pass / Fail: ____

 Semester 1 Skills Based Final – Part 2 Network Connection
Workstation #: _______

WS1 WS2 WS3

Objective:
Connect your workstation to a LAN. Configure the network settings and troubleshoot as necessary.
Use your web browser to connect to router interface 152.20.71.237 and display the web interface.
After the workstation is successfully connected to the network, the instructor will introduce problems
into the workstation and/or network that must be resolved and documented in the space provided.
Include the following: symptoms, causes, details of tests done, detailed problem results (from layer 1
testing), detailed solutions.

You will be assigned a workstation number that will become the useable subnet # with which you
will perform this assessment. Make sure you have an appropriate assigned subnet number
before starting.

You will be using a class C network 193.5.5.0 that is divided into subnets by borrowing 5 bits from
the host portion of the address. The subnet number assigned is the same usable subnet (1st , 2nd 3rd
etc.) as your workstation number. The instructor must initial each step as you answer the following
questions. The default gateway (nearside router port) for your host is 193.5.5.1.
Write the IP address of your workstation here: ____________________

1. What is the subnet mask? ____________________________ Initial __________

2. Subnet host IP address range? _________________________ Initial __________
3. Network address of your subnet? ______________________ Initial __________
4. Broadcast address of your subnet? _____________________ Initial __________
5. Ping the router default gateway. Initial __________
6. Open the web page at 152.20.71.237 with your browser. Initial __________
7. Identify and resolve troubleshooting problems. Initial __________
Pass / Fail: _______
