HLP 4200 Broadband Platform

The HLP 4200 is Harmonic’s flexible platform for mounting broadband communications equipment. The platform measures three rack units in height, accommodates a power supply and up to five of Harmonic’s standard 2.6” wide plug-in modules, or up to ten of the “half width” 1.3” wide plug-in modules. It includes a common communication and DC power bus with RS-232 and RS-485 interface connectors. This high-density packaging design minimizes headend space requirements, making it an ideal platform for narrowcasting applications. With its modular design and built-in communications interfaces, the HLP 4200 provides operators with the infrastructure to meet emerging broadband network requirements.

Two configuration options are available. Model HLP 4200WD, with the front panel display option, enables module set-up and monitoring via the 40 character alphanumeric display with push button controls. With the HLP 4200ND, without the front panel display, module set-up is accomplished via the module front panel function slide switch and set-up adjustment. With either option, module set-up and monitoring can also be accomplished using the NETWatch Element Management System or a local computer connection.
