Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
RJ-45 Ports
The Enova Series CPU has two RJ-45 ports: the ICS LAN port on the left and the LAN 100/1000 port on the right. The ICS LAN
port acts as a DHCP server (private LAN) and the LAN 100/1000 port acts as a DHCP client (public LAN) with each port on
a separate network.
CAUTION:
In order to avoid a Network Loop, do not connect any device on the private LAN (ICS LAN port) to any branch
on the public LAN (LAN 100/1000 port).
Both of the RJ-45 ports indicate the same type of LED information and use the same pinouts for cabling.
RJ-45 Port LEDs
The two small rectangular LEDs on the RJ-45 connector indicate the following:
Green L/A LED: On – Link is active (when the Ethernet cable is connected and terminated correctly)
Yellow SPD LED: On – receiving or transmitting LAN data packets
ICS LAN 10/100 and LAN 100/1000 Indicator LEDs
Cable Requirements and Pinouts
RJ-45 link cable (either crossover or straight-through) – required to connect an Enova DGX Switcher to the public LAN.
NOTE:
Cable can be wired to either T568A (see below) or T568B (on the next page), as long as the wiring is consistent on
both ends.
T568A
The following table lists the pinouts, signals, and pairing for the Ethernet connector when wired for straight-through cable
according to T568A.
