Headend Installation
 Connect each headend unit to a combiner using RF cables from
the RF output socket to the combiner.
1. Connect each headend unit to an approved „earth‟ connection
point.
2. Provide power to each headend unit with the supplied power lead.
Note that headend units connected using a network switch require the
Connection type field in the service tool‟s Admin /IP Settings /Setup
window to be set to Switch.
Triax recommends that a network switch is used for connecting the main
and subunits even if IP services are not currently supported. The network
switch used must support IGMP ver. 2 and contain a sufficient number of
ports to connect to the Link sockets on the main and subunits.
1. Insert SFP copper transceivers into the "Link 1" and "Link 2"
sockets on the main headend and subunit headend(s).
2. Route a RJ45 Cat5e or better cable from the "Link 1" socket on the
main unit and subunit(s) to the network switch.
3. Route a RJ45 Cat5e or better cable from the "Link 2" socket on the
main unit and subunit(s) to the network switch.
4. Set the "ID switch" on the main headend and subunit headends to
the following:
 Main unit = "3"
 Subunit 1 to "1"
 Subunit 2 (if present) to "2"
5. Connect the network switch to the IP network.
