Electra 9200, Rev O
To connect the IP output cables:
1.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the primary IP output port to a port on a network switch
or router, not a hub.
2.
Optionally, connect the backup IP output port to a different switch or router to facilitate
redundancy.
3.
Configure the Ethernet switch to support auto-negotiation by setting each port to
set
speed auto
and
set duplex auto
.
Set the IP address and other network information for the IP output ports using NMX.
Harmonic supports 10/100/1000 Mbps and is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and
802.3as standards.
NOTE:
The network hosting the IP output traffic must be a different network from your management
network and must be configured with a different IP address.
Harmonic recommends that shielded and grounded Ethernet cables be used on all Ethernet ports.
Failure to properly configure the Ethernet switch could result in a mismatch between the IP output
and the switch.
Connecting the IP Input Cables
For RJ-45 pinouts, see
.
Ports 1 and 2 are GbE input ports. The Electra 9200 CPC-L card has GbE input with two
redundant Ethernet ports (used on FLEX-1 systems).

Connecting the Ethernet Management Cable
The Ethernet management ports, labeled Management 1, 2, are 10/100/1000 Mbps and use
an RJ-45/UTP cable to connect to an Ethernet network. It allows communication between
NMX and the encoder.
