Hi Siuko,
Thank you so much for the reply.
The wall sockets are all labeled and as you can see the numbers on wall sockets match the letters above the ports on patch panels. (tested via two laptops and ping)
Patch leads are what I would call RJ45 leads? They are already in there so I guess if I just plug them all into switch that should be physical side of network complete?

I was under impression that I will plug the BT router in the network card on server and second network card on server into the switch?

Which would make BT router default gateway.. or do I plug BT router into CAT 5E socket and give it static ip address of 192.168.1.254?

I just inspected network in current office where I work and totally all the leads from patch panels are plugged in into a switch.

THANK YOU SIUKO. You are a star. But yeah please let me know if I didn't get it.
