Cisco 1900 into a wall jack

I am trying to get a Catalyst 1900 setup for a small lab here at the school I work at. The problem I am having is hooking up an uplink connection to the switch. I have the first FastEthernet port (A) set as the uplink, but when I hook that port up to a wall jack, I get no connection. I tried with both a straight through and crossover cable with no luck. Does this switch have to be directly connected to another switch/router to get uplink functionality?
 
Physical connectivity is a layer 1 issue; the switch/router doesn't/can't know if it is directly connected, or if its connected via a wall-jack/punch-down. As long as the wires map correctly, and there isn't signal loss or noise, the upper layers don't care.

You connect a switch to a router with a normal cable, switch to switch with crossover, router to router with crossover, and router to PC with crossover.

Your best bet is to simplify the situation; hook the switch directly to the router with no wall jacks etc in between, and make sure that works.Also make sure the router ethernet interface isn't 'shutdown'
