Connect Fiber Cables
STEP 1 For each IPS segment, connect the fiber network cables from a port in the IPS device to the appropriate ZPHA port. See the following diagram.

STEP 2
STEP 3
Note: You must connect all cables according to segment. All segment connects for one IPS should be connected to the same segment on the ZPHA.
Connect the IPS cables for routing network traffic through the IPS device.
•Connect a pair of Simplex network cables from port A of the IPS device to a segment A port of the ZPHA.
•Connect a pair of Simplex network cables from port B of the IPS device to a segment B port of the ZPHA.
Connect a pair of Simplex cables through the ZPHA device ports NET A and NET B.
Tip: The activation of the ZPHA may result in a link transition in the same way that a link goes down and then up. Even though switching of the ZPHA is extremely fast, certain network equipment can take longer to establish link. You should take note of required link times of the network equipment connected to the ZPHA.
