Note: Fiber segment modules have a maximum link loss of 1.5db.

The IPS connection requires two copper or four fiber network cables for the Seg A and B ports. You also need two copper or four fiber cables for the Net A and B ports for receiving and transferring network traffic in your company’s network system.

Note: You will need a full set of cables for every IPS device you connect to a segment of the ZPHA. The ZPHA device can connect five (5) IPS device segments.

Install the ZPHA Case and Modules

STEP 1 After unpacking the ZPHA, install the device into the rack. The ZPHA must be located close to the IPS devices to be networked to it.

Note: Tipping Point recommends that you mount the UnityOne system in a standard 19-or 23-inch rack. The vertical hole spacing on the rack rails must meet standard EIA-310-C requirements, which call for a one inch (2.54 cm) spacing.

STEP 2

STEP 3

After installing the system case, place a segment module into a segment port. Make sure the segment module is secure.

You can place one segment module (fiber or copper) into each segment port. You can install the segment modules in any order.

Turn the screw located at the bottom of the segment with your thumb or a Phillips screw driver to lock the segment module in the port.

Note: Repeat Steps 2 and 3 as necessary for each segment module. For empty segment modules, install the blank faceplate component.
