Grass Valley RCP-10x0 - Manual (Page 7)

GUIDE TO INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
RCP-10x0 | 3
2 Installation
2.1 Unpacking
The following items should be included in the RCP-10x0 package:
• RCP-10x0
control panel
• User
manual
• Power over Ethernet adapter (to inject power to the RCP-10x0 via the ethernet port)
• Power
cord
• Ethernet cross cable to help with configuration (when in CONFIG mode)
• A straight ethernet cable for standard operation
• Clear lexan (to protect an eventual paper strip or the identification lexan)
• Identification lexan (identifies the leftmost function buttons and allows users to write on it using a
marker to identify the sources and destinations)
2.2 Installation
Install the RCP-10x0 in a standard 19” rack frame using four mounting screws (not supplied)
• The RCP-10x0 occupies 1 RU in height
2.3 Connection
The RCP-10x0 communicates with a router through an IP connection. The unit also receives its power
through the same connector (PoE). Connection of the RCP-10x0 is therefore a simple, one-step process:
• Connect the RCP-10x0 to a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet network, using a connecting cable that supplies
power using the PoE protocol (compliant with IEEE 802.3af). See section 2.4 for information about
the power source.
• The controlled router must be installed in a Densité frame that is accessible from the same LAN
The RCP-10x0 is delivered from the factory with the following default settings
Default IP address 192.168.100.100
Default Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.100.1
DHCP Disabled
Default DENSITE Frame IP address 192.168.100.101
2.4 PoE Power Supply
PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology supplies DC power for the device over conductors in the ethernet
cable. The power can be inserted on the data conductors, or on spare conductors in the cable. The RCP-
10x0 supports both options. Two sources of power are possible.
• Power-sourcing ethernet switch: the power is supplied to the cable directly at the ethernet switch
• Power injector: the cable from a standard, non-power-sourcing ethernet switch plugs into a power
injector, whose output combines the input signals with power.
IEEE 802.3af specifies a nominal 48 volt supply, and the system specification includes provision for detection
by the power sourcing equipment that the powered device is PoE-compatible.
