22 Cabling the NSG
CHAPTER 2
Connecting the ASI Monitoring Port Cables
The ASI output port for the NSG provides a method to monitor the
device’s output data.
To connect the ASI output cable:
➭
Connect the ASI cable with a BNC connector from the ASI output port
on the NSG back panel to a device such as an MPEG analyzer.
Connecting the Ethernet Cables
The Ethernet ports, labeled ETH1 and ETH2, provide access to two
independent networks.
To connect the Ethernet cables:
➭
Connect an Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors from the ETH1 port
on the NSG to your management network hub or switch.
Establishing Ethernet Connection
Because the NSG is configured and controlled by a remote management
system, you must set the IP addresses of the Ethernet ports located on
the back panel of the NSG. To set NSG IP address, use the control panel
located on the front panel of the NSG. For further information, refer to
“Preliminary Configuration of the NSG” on page 25 .
You may also use other management interfaces. For further information,
refer to the web client online help or, in case of a number of NSG
devices, use the MCT (Mass Configuration Tool) and refer to its online
help.
Note: The NSG requires a user name and password to log in to all
management interfaces, including the serial communications console,
web client and FTP. You must contact Harmonic Customer Support to
obtain the user name and password before you can proceed with the
following configuration. See
Appendix D, “Customer Support
Information,” for Customer Support contact information.
