BTW, didn’t he mean to tell you guys that the cable from the first number had to be put into the port badged with the second number? ^_^

How bad did you guys make a mess of it?

Although it might be that the switch you connect to, the (still) open ports are disabled. Then you have to log on to the swith with a password and username (which you might not have) to enable it. But looking at the picture it looks more like this is a normal cabinet and not one of KPN, and you have to get in touch with the building maintainer for this one in case you can't find it. Good luck!

KPN? very weird that they allowed you guys to it then... Anyway, there's not that much to understand. There are numbers in your office which correspond with numbers on the patchpanels. Then there should be switches etcetera which have the internet-feed... Now take a patchcable and connect one port (of which you know has internet, try with a laptop for instance) of the switch to a port on the patchpanel (with a number you've got in your office). That should be it... otherwise make a mess of it all and you'll be sure someone of KPN shows up! ^_^ who is the owner of this patch-cabinet? KPN? very weird that they allowed you guys to it then…
