Chapter 2: PTP 820S Hardware Description
PTP 820S Unit Description
Connecting a Protection Splitter
This option must be used when you plan to manage the system using out-of-band (external)
management rather than in-band management.
The splitter has three ports:
•
System plug (“Sys”) – The system plug must be connected to the PTP 820S’s management
port.
•
Management port (“Mng”) – A standard CAT5E cable must be connected to the splitter’s
management port in order to utilize out-of-band (external) management.
•
Protection signalling port (“Prot”) – A standard CAT5E cable or a Protection signalling cable
must be connected between this port and the other “Prot” port of the second splitter on the
mate PTP 820S unit.
