Cabling ProStream 9100
Connecting the Ethernet Cables
The Ethernet ports, labeled ETH1 and ETH2, provide access to two independent networks. All
ProStream 9100 devices use the ETH1 port to connect to a management network. The ETH2 port
is used to connect the ProStream 9100 to a CAS (Conditional Access) network.
To connect the Ethernet ports:
Connect a shielded and grounded CAT-5E
cable from the ETH1/ETH2 port on the ProStream
9100 device to your network hub or switch.
NOTE:
The 10/100 test port on the front panel is for testing use only and must not be used as a
management port.
Connecting the ASI Input/Output Ports
The ASI ports require a 75-Ohm cable with a standard BNC connector.
To connect the ASI Ports:
1.
Connect the BNC male connector to the BNC female connector of the required ASI port
located on the ProStream 9100 back panel.
2.
Connect the connector on the other side of the cable to your ASI source/destination.
Connecting the GbE Input/Output Ports
The GbE connection requires SFP modules and either of the following:
Optic fiber with standard LC connectors
Shielded and grounded CAT-6 or CAT-7 cable (copper cable) with an RJ-45 connector
The SFP modules can be purchased separately. For further information about SFP modules see
.
To connect the optic fiber/copper cables to the ProStream 9100:
1.
Insert the SFP module into the SFP receptacle of the required GbE port at the back of the
ProStream 9100.
2.
Do either of the following:
Fiber cable - Insert the LC connector into the Rx port of the SFP.
Shielded and grounded CAT 6 or 7 copper cable - Insert the RJ-45 connector into the
matching port.
3.
Connect the connector on the other side of the fiber to your GbE source/destination (typically
a GbE switch).
