    USB power cable. The ZPHA device requires only one USB connection for power. Power requirements The TippingPoint ZPHA device receives power through a nonstandard USB cable connected to the IPS or TPS device. The ZPHA device comes with this nonstandard USB cable.
  • Page 4: Cabling Requirements

    Cabling requirements The ZPHA device requires the following cables: • Nonstandard USB cable to connect to the IPS/TPS device to receive power (included with device). • Fiber or copper network cables, depending on the segment type. Four cables are required per segment: two for the IPS/TPS device connections and two for network connections (cables not included).
  • Page 5 ZPHA device installation The ZPHA device enables the network traffic to continue to flow if the IPS or TPS system loses power. In the event of power loss to the IPS or TPS device, the ZPHA device bypasses the IPS/TPS device to provide continuous network traffic until power returns to the device.
  • Page 6 Table 2-1 ZPHA device components Component Description Segments (5) Each segment includes network ports and segment ports. The segment ports connect to the segment ports of the IPS/TPS device. The network ports connect to the network systems sending and receiving traffic via the device.

Figure 2-2 Non-modular ZPHA device segment on front panel Modular ZPHA device front panel The modular ZPHA device can accept network connections for up to five (5) network segments. You can insert any combination (up to five) of fiber and copper segment modules into a modular ZPHA device.

  • Page 10 For each segment or module, either fiber or copper, use four cable connections. Two of the connections should be between the ZPHA device and the IPS/TPS device (one for SEG A port, one for SEG B port), and two of the connections should be between the ZPHA device and the network (one for NET A port, one for NET B port).

    Figure 2-12 Non-modular ZPHA device to IPS connection diagram NOTE: You must connect all cables according to segment. All IPS or TPS device segment ports should be connected to the ports of one segment on the ZPHA device. 4. After you confirm that traffic is passing through the ZPHA device, turn on the IPS/TPS device. 5.
  • Page 15 WARNING! Do not connect both ZPHA devices directly to the IPS/TPS device using the nonstandard USB power cable. Crossover cable installation Depending on your network environment, you might need to use a crossover cable to connect the ZPHA device to your network configuration. The TippingPoint IPS, TPS, and ZPHA device ports are all enabled with automatic medium-dependent interface crossover (auto-MDIX).
  • Page 16 When the network devices connected to the ZPHA device are the same type, use a crossover cable in your network configuration. For example, if the network devices connected to the ZPHA device are both DTE devices or both DCE devices, use a crossover cable to connect one of the network devices to the ZPHA device.
