2.6 Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The input ports eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4, eth5 are auto-negotiating and intended to be connected to a network distribution switch
using straight through wired Cat5e or better quality cable. The rear panel Management Interface port allows connection to a
notebook or desktop PC for managing and configuring the system. The port may be connected to directly, or in the case of
a headend with many devices to manage, may be connected to a management network (recommended) or the distribution
switch containing the video stream content. It is possible to set up virtual ports for a VLAN. Connections should be made with
Cat5e or better network cables. The GigE management port is auto-negotiating and should be connected to a switch or router
with a straight through wired cable. Direct connection to a PC may be made with the supplied crossover cable.
2.7 Installing the Chassis into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the Mondo chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety
of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided.
You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using. NOTE: This rail will fit a rack
between 26.5” and 36.4” deep.
2.7.1 Identifying the Rack Rail Sections
The Mondo chassis includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of three sections: An inner
chassis rail secured to the chassis (factory installed), an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends
from the outer rail,
. Each of these assemblies are designed for mounting specifically on the left or right side of the
chassis.
2.7.2 Inner Rail Locking Tabs
Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack. These
tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents it from coming completely out of the rack
when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.
