Connecting The Ethernet Management Interface; Connecting The Ip Ts Output - Cisco D9859 Installation And Configuration Manual

Chapter 3 Installation
2 Feed the stripped ends of the positive, negative and ground wires into the
appropriate terminals as labeled, and then screw the terminal screws (located on
the top of the terminal block) finger tight to each wire.

Connecting the Ethernet Management Interface

The RJ-45 interface for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet is currently intended for
upgrading/downloading the software application.
Hint: If you experience problems with the 10BASE-T Ethernet it is advised that you
change it to a 100BASE-T connection.
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 more
information, see IP (on page 69).
Proper cables are required for reliable Ethernet operation; to run over a maximum
segment length of 100 m the cable has to comply with the EIA/TIA Category 6 wire
specifications.
1 Connect a crossed RJ-45 cable between the Ethernet connector on the D9859
transcoder and the Ethernet port of your PC.
Note: You need a crossover cable if you want to connect the Ethernet interface of
the D9859 transcoder directly to another Ethernet device without using a hub or
switch.
2 Set up the IP address on the D9859 transcoder (via the front panel display). For
information on setting up the IP address via the front panel, see IP (on page 69).

Connecting the IP TS Output

The RJ-45 interface IP TS OUT is 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet. It is intended for
both MPEGoIP and MPE outputs. 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.
Note: For reliable Ethernet operation up to the maximum segment length of 100 m,
ensure that the cable complies with the EIA/TIA Category 6 wire specifications.
Connect a crossed RJ-45 cable between the Ethernet connector (DATA port only) on
the D9859 transcoder and the Ethernet port of the equipment after the D9859
transcoder. The equipment after the D9859 transcoder could be an IP router or a
switch.
