12 UnityOne Modular Fiber/Copper ZPHA Installation Guide V 2.1
Connect Copper Cables
STEP 1 For each IPS segment, connect a copper network cable from a port in the IPS device to the
appropriate ZPHA port. See the following diagram.
STEP 2 Connect the IPS cables for routing network traffic through the IPS device.
• Connect a cable from port A of the IPS device to a segment A port of the ZPHA.
• Connect a cable from port B of the IPS device to a segment B port of the ZPHA.
STEP 3 Connect the network cables through the ZPHA device ports NET A and NET B.

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.
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.
