A network wall jack is a fixed connectivity point installed in walls, designed to connect various devices to a local area network (LAN). It typically accommodates Ethernet cables, allowing devices like computers, printers, and IP phones to access the network. These jacks are commonly found in offices and homes, providing a neat and organized way to connect to wired networks without cluttering spaces with loose cables. They often come in standard sizes and can be easily mounted in wall plates for a professional finish.

How can you get an Ethernet wall jack to become live?

It needs to be run from the wall to a network switch. If all the wall jacks are to a switch, any computers plugged into the wall jacks will be able to network with each other locally. (for such things as sharing folders and printers) If the Switch is then plugged into a working modem, the modem gives the switch access to the net. So for a wall jack to be "live" it needs to have cable run to the switch, and the switch will need to be plugged into a standard power outlet. to summarize: computer---->wall jack----->switch----->modem----->internet ____________________________________________________________________ you can also run it like so: computer---->wall jack----->modem----->internet (the switch simply splits the 1 modem connection into many connections. This allows more than 1 computer to connect to the net from that 1 modem)


What is a Ethernet wall jack?

An Ethernet wall jack is a fixed network connector installed in walls, allowing devices to connect to a wired local area network (LAN). It typically resembles a standard electrical outlet but is designed for Ethernet cables, which transmit data at high speeds. This setup provides a reliable internet connection for devices like computers, printers, and smart TVs, reducing reliance on wireless networks. Ethernet wall jacks are commonly used in homes and offices for enhanced network performance and stability.


What and where is the fire wall and plugs on the computer located?

The firewall on a computer is not, generally, a physical thing at all, but is a software program that watches everything happening on the network and stops network activity that it believes could be harmful. The firewall, as it watches what is happening on the network, could be said to be connected to the network plug, which is a small, square plug, generally on the back of the computer. It looks like an oversized phone jack. Do not plug a phone jack into a network connector; it will destroy your network hardware.

What are the steps to take to set up a desktop computer with a wired wifi connection?

The answer is very simple since you are asking about the physical aspect of networking. Make sure that the computer has a network interface card or an integrated network port, the drivers for the card/port are installed correctly, and then plug a cable into the computer and into the wall jack or network switch (depending on how your network is set up). If you have a wall jack for the computer, then make sure that there is a patch cable going from the terminating jack (at the other end of the cable running through the wall) to the network switch. Ideally you should see that your computer recognizes a connection and is given an IP address by whatever DHCP server is on your network (e.g. router, network server, etc.).As for beyond that, such as providing access to a network printer or NAS device, that depends on the configuration of the particular network environment and is beyond the scope of this answer given the question that was asked.If you wish any additional advice or have other questions, feel free to drop me a line.
