I'm not actually sure, but I didn't do anything other than put my
cat5e in.  I've verified with a tester that the wall outlets, cabling
and patch panel are wired up correctly for 568B and they are.  I've
tried at least 4 different connectors on both sides of it but it's
still not working, so I feel confident in ruling out a faulty
connection.

I've had a lot of trouble locating technical details on what pins it
*should* be using so I can test with my multimeter.  Most of the
stuff
I've found in US.
