Connecting The Ethernet Management Interface - Cisco PowerVu D9858 Installation And Operation Manual

Connecting the Ethernet Management Interface

The Ethernet Interface
The RJ-45 interface for 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet is currently intended for
upgrading/downloading the software application.
Hint: If you experience problems with the 10 BaseT Ethernet it is advised that you
change it to a 100 BaseT connection.
Note: 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 IP, page 4-35.
Informative Notes
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 5E
wire specifications.
To Connect the Ethernet Interface
1. Connect a crossed RJ-45 cable between the Ethernet connector on the D9858
Advanced Receiver Transcoder and the Ethernet port of your PC.
Note: You need a crossover cable if you want to connect the Ethernet interface of
the D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder directly to another Ethernet device
without using a hub or switch.
You need to set up the IP address on the D9858 Advanced Receiver Transcoder (via
the front panel display). For information on setting up the IP address via the front
panel, see IP, page 4-35.
