Just use a live network device to tone. Laptop on one end and just a switch or something sitting on the other. Plug in and look for link light.

As for putting in a switch, assuming 3 of those ports are currently live, you should be able to put it in and just patch them directly to the switch. Then it is just a matter of punching in the other 2.

If 3 of those ports are not connected, and this is way I assume, then the 2 sides of the device are not connected and you will need to punch in cables in what looks likeThe 6 sets of 8 surrounding the jacks.

Bottom line, find the manual and then RTFM.
