Network Standards
• Discussed at CNAG and CTAG
• For campus consistency
• Telecommunications Room (TR) standards for
new buildings
• Device naming
• 1-to-1 patch cabling
• POE switches
• Routed (layer 3) connections to new buildings
Power over Ethernet (POE) and 1-to-1
patch cabling
• All new buildings, additions, and major
renovations use:
– POE switches
– All jacks live

Voice over IP (VoIP)
• Requires Power over Ethernet (POE) switches
• Used in all new buildings (e.g. RAC, Pharmacy)
• approximately 500 VoIP phones installed to
date
• Hoping to offer zero/low cost self serve VoIP
phone moves in areas with all jacks live POE
(new buildings)
