5 Hardware Installation

This section describes the VS-1200-S series hardware installation at the network site of your

choice.

For specific VS-1200-S applications see the 'Application ' section.

5.1 Power

This section describes the power connection at the network installation site of the VS-1200-S

configurable series.

Two DC input power sockets are provided on the rear panel. The front panel POWER 1 and 2

LEDs are illuminated green, respectively:

(BT series) - when DC power is available at both the two rear DC power sockets; or

(SFP series) - when the DC POWER switch is depressed ON and DC power is available at

both the two rear DC power sockets.

Either POWER 1 or 2 LED not illuminated when powered, indicates a defective power source and

immediate investigation as to the cause is required to insure redundant power integrity.

1. Step 1. Using the supplied Power Adapters and AC Line Cords, plug the VS-1200-S series into

different circuit external power sources.Although only one power supply is required to power the

configurable unit, use of a second independent power source is strongly recommended to assure

uninterrupted monitoring. Furthermore, connecting the second Power Adapter to a different

external power source circuit than the first AC power source eliminates power as a single point of

failure.

5.2 Any-to-Any Connection

This section will focus on the Any-to-Any port connection of the typical VS-1200-S series hardware

installation.

NOTE: For the VS-1200 series with a Gigabit Ethernet (GE) small form-factor (SFF) port, the SFP

modules might ship already installed in your unit, or they might arrive packaged separately. See the

'Small Form-Factor Pluggable' section, 'Installing the SFP Module ,' on how to install the SFP

module.
