Installing the Harmony Power System 20
Step 5: Attach the Ethernet Cables
The Harmony Power System includes six Input Ports (the bottom row of RJ-45
connectors) and six Output Ports (the top row of RJ-45 connectors).
Note: The Harmony Power System can support a maximum of five Access Points if
you are using one or more Harmony 802.11a Access Points. See “Number of
Access Points Supported by the Power System” on page 8 for details.
Follow these steps to attach the Ethernet cables to the Input and Output Ports:
1. Attach one end of a Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable to an Input Port on the
Harmony Power System and the other end to a free port on a network hub or
switch.
Note: If you want to connect Harmony OpenAir Access Points to the Power System,
attach an AP Power Over LAN Module to each OpenAir Access Point before
proceeding to Step #2.
2. Attach one end of a second Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable to the
corresponding Output Port on the Harmony Power System and the other end to
the RJ-45 port on a Harmony 802.11a/802.11b Access Point or to an AP Power
Over LAN Module.
Note: Use matching pairs of Input and Output Ports. For example, if you use an
Ethernet cable to connect Input Port 2 to a network hub/switch, then use a
second Ethernet cable to connect Output Port 2 to an AP Power Over LAN
Module or a Harmony 802.11a/802.11b Access Point. Output Port 2 is
located directly above Input Port 2.
3. Once the Ethernet cable has been attached on both ends, confirm that the port’s
Channel Status LED is green. This means that the Ethernet cable is properly
connected on both ends, you are using the correct cable, and the Power System
has successfully detected a Harmony Access Point.
4. Repeat the above procedure for each Harmony Access Point that you want to add
to the network. See “Number of Access Points Supported by the Power System”
on page 8 for information on how many Access Points you can connect to the
Power System.
Refer to Appendix C for information on the pin-out of the Harmony Power System’s
Input and Output Ports.
