Connecting the Ethernet Management Interface
The RJ-45 interface for 100/1000BASE-T Ethernet is currently intended for
upgrading/downloading the software application. You must set up the IP address,
the default gateway and the subnet mask to match the network connection. This is
done through the front panel menu. For further information, see Setting up for
Network Connection (on page 16).
Note: Proper cables are required for reliable Ethernet operation; to run up to a
maximum segment length of 100 m and up to 100BASE-T, the cable has to comply
with the EIA/TIA Category 5 (or higher) wire specifications, and for 1000BASE-T,
Category 6 is required. For EMC protection, shielded cables must be used.
1 Connect an RJ-45 cable between the Ethernet connector on the D9854/D9854-I
receiver and the Ethernet port of your PC.
2 Set up the IP address on the D9854/D9854-I receiver (via the front panel
display). For information on setting up the IP address via the front panel, see
Setting up for Network Connection (on page 16).
Connecting the IP TS Input/Output
Note: The TS IN/OUT ports are only applicable for the D9854-I only.
The RJ-45 interface IP TS OUT (D9854) or TS IN/OUT (D9854-I) is a 100/1000BASE-
T Ethernet. It is intended for both MPEGoIP and MPE outputs, and/or MPEGoIP
input. The MPEGoIP output of the transport stream is encapsulated in the IP packets
to a groomer (for example, Cisco D9900 Digital Content Manager) for distribution.
The MPE output receives IP packets from the transport stream. The MPEGoIP input
receives transport streams from the IP network.
Note: For reliable Ethernet operation; to run over a maximum segment length of 100
m and up to 100BASE-T, the cable has to comply with the EIA/TIA Category 5 (or
higher) wire specifications, and for 1000BASE-T, Category 6 is required.
Connect a crossed RJ-45 cable between the Ethernet connector (DATA port only) on
the D9854/D9854-I receiver and the Ethernet port of the equipment after the
D9854/D9854-I receiver. The equipment after the D9854/D9854-I receiver could be
an IP router or a switch.
Connecting the ASI Output
Connect the output signal from the D9854/D9854-I receiver ASI OUT connector.
Use a Belden “Brilliance” cable with foil/braid construction. The shield must
provide 99% or better shielding effectiveness.
The equipment after the D9854/D9854-I receiver could be a Cisco D9887B HDTV
Receiver.
