2.2.1.1 (1X) RJ-45 Connection for Standalone Applications
For standalone applications, the CA-0000352 Ethernet Interface Cable connects
directly between the SSPA and the LPODnet.
Figure 2-5. CA-0000352 RJ-45 Standalone Application Direct Connection
or standalone applications only – Follow these steps to directly connect the Ethernet Interface
Cable RJ-45 ‘J3’ connector to the LPODnet (Figure 2-5):
Step Task
1 Press down the tab on the CA-000352 cable ‘J3’ RJ-45 plug, and then insert the plug into the LPODnet’s
RJ-45 Ethernet network jack.
Be sure to tie back (or otherwise segregate from inadvertent use) the
CA-0000352 RJ-45 connector labeled J2-UNIT 1 REDSYS ONLY.
2 The connection is complete when the tab ‘clicks’ into position inside the LPODnet ’s RJ-45 Ethernet
network jack.
2.2.1.2 (3X) RJ-45 Connections for 1:1 Redundancy Applications
Before proceeding further, you should first read the detailed information provided
in Appendix A. 1:1 REDUNDANCY in either the LPOD Outdoor Amplifier / Block Up
Converter (BUC) Installation and Operation Manual (CEFD P/N MN-LPOD) or the
SPOD Outdoor Amplifier Installation and Operation Manual (CEFD P/N
MN-SPODPSX).
Typical for any 1:1 Redundancy configuration, the ‘J2’ and ‘J3’ RJ-45 connectors are both
plugged into a user-provided Ethernet switch or hub. A user-provided Ethernet cable is then
connected from the Ethernet switch or hub to the LPODnet ’s RJ-45 Ethernet network jack.
