3.5.3
Connecting the Video Input Cables
Your encoder has up to four video input ports. The video input ports accept serial digital
video. To connect the video cables:
1.
Connect a coaxial cable with a BNC connector from the first video source to the Video 1
port on the encoder.
2.
Continue connecting the additional video sources to the remaining video ports.
3.5.4
Connecting the IP Output Cables
The encoder has one IP output port with two redundant channels and two RJ-45 connectors.
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.
NOTE:
Harmonic recommends that shielded and grounded Ethernet cables be used on all Ethernet ports.
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 autonegotiation by setting each port to “set
speed auto” and “set duplex auto.”
NOTE:
Failure to properly configure the Ethernet switch could result in a mismatch between the IP
output and the switch.
Harmonic supports 10/100/1000 Base-T and is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and
802.3as standards.
3.5.5
Connecting the Ethernet Management Cable
The Ethernet management port allows communication between NMX and the encoder.
To connect the Ethernet management cable:
Connect an RJ-45/UTP cable from the encoder’s back panel 10/100 Base-T port to a
port on an Ethernet switch.
NOTE:
The network hosting the IP output traffic should be a different network from your management
network.
