Connecting the MIMO/Protection Splitters and Protection
Signaling Cable
Each splitter has three ports:
•
System plug (“Sys”) –
The system plug should be connected to the IP-20C-HP
’s management
port.
•
Management port (“Mng”) –
A standard CAT5E cable should be connected to the splitter’s
management port in order to utilize out-of-band (external) management.
Note:
Even for systems that use in-band management, initial configuration of
a 4x4 MIMO and any HSB protection configuration must be performed
manually using out-of-band management.
•
MIMO/
Protection signaling port (“
MIMO/
Prot”) –
A MIMO/Protection signaling cross cable,
as described above,
should be connected between this port and the other “
MIMO/
Prot”
port of the second splitter on the mate IP-20C-HP unit.
The following figure demonstrates a 4x4 MIMO configuration in which both IP-
20C-HP units are connected to an external management station and to each
other, using two splitters.
