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 auto-negotiation by setting each port to set
speed auto
and set duplex auto.
Set the IP address and other network information for the IP output ports using NMX.
Harmonic supports 10/100/1000 Mbps and is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and
802.3as standards.
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.
Harmonic recommends that shielded and grounded Ethernet cables be used on all Ethernet ports.
Failure to properly configure the Ethernet switch could result in a mismatch between the IP output
and the switch.
Connecting the IP Input Cables
For RJ-45 pinouts, see RJ-45 Ethernet Port Pinouts.
Ports 1 and 2 are GbE input ports. The Electra 9200 CPC-L card has GbE input with two
redundant Ethernet ports (used on FLEX-1 systems).

Connecting the Ethernet Management Cable
The Ethernet management ports, labeled Management 1, 2, are 10/100/1000 Mbps and use
an RJ-45/UTP cable to connect to an Ethernet network. It allows communication between
NMX and the encoder.
