10 UnityOne Modular Fiber/Copper ZPHA Installation Guide V 2.1
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.
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.
STEP 2 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.
STEP 3 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: Fiber segment modules have a maximum link loss of 1.5db.
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.
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.
Note: Repeat Steps 2 and 3 as necessary for each segment module. For empty
segment modules, install the blank faceplate component.
