KFC installs 2 Procurve switches. One is a redundant backup. Both are installed in the black network box along with a patch panel. Network runs are terminated at the patch panel and patch cables connect to the switch. The switches are managed and can be diagnosed by corporate. As such, use caution when switching ports.

Taco Bell installs 2 switches. The Allied switch is used for the POS network (terminals, KVS, etc.) The Milan switch is used for the back office equipment and will usually only contain the TACO PC, Internet connection, and Fulenwider PC. Printer, wireless, etc., may be connected if available.

When troubleshooting network connections, ensure each used port has a corresponding light indicating a good connection. Some switches will have 2 lights - solid for connectivity (Link) and flashing for activity. Sometimes the lights are combined.
