3.2 Front Panel Description

This section provides a illustration and description of the front panel of the VS-1200-S series. An

explanation of each front panel legend follows:

3.2.1 Power

Two switching AC adapter power supplies are provided for each configurable unit. Although only

one power supply is required to power the module, use of a second independent power source is

strongly recommended to assure uninterrupted monitoring. Furthermore, connecting the second AC

input power socket to a different external power source circuit than the first AC input power source

eliminates power as a single point of failure. The power barrel sockets are located on the rear.

3.2.2 Any-to-Any Ports

Designated as INPUT or OUTPUT by 'Superuser' for use as input or output ports. See Serial and

Management Port - Command Line Interface - Superuser Commands - 'SET PORT MONITOR

(SE PO MO )' section for more information.

Ports: 1 to 8 (VS-1210BT/SFP-S or VS-1208BT-S) and Ports: 1 to 4 (VS-1204BT-S):

are RJ45 connectors used for connection to network devices or tools. These jacks have integrated

LEDs that display line status and line speed of each port. See the Any-to-Any RJ-45 LED Display

Code table for LED display codes.

Ports: 9 to 10 (VS-1210BT/SFP-S) and Ports: 1 to 10 (VS-1210SFP-S): are sockets used with a

small form-factor plug (SFP) module for connection to network devices or tools. They can be

connected through fiber or copper, or a mix of each.

LX-BT/SX-BT - The LEDs located to the right of the SFP connectors are solid green indicating a link

has been detected between the respective Any-to-Any Rx port and network device/tool Tx port or

network segment. The LEDs are flashing green when data is passed.
