Connect the AC power cord to the back of the switch, and then

plug the other end of the cord into an AC power outlet.

Note: You will need two power cords if you have installed a

redundant PSU.

Warning: You must use a power cord set approved for the

4850GTS Series switch and the power receptacle type in

your country.

Check the front-panel LEDs as the device powers on to be sure

the PWR LED is lit. If not, check if the power cord is plugged in

correctly. The switch will power on immediately when it is

connected to a suitable AC power source.

Note: Before installing, ensure the switch is up and running, and

operating normally. Verify that the SFP or SFP+ transceivers and

network cabling support your network configuration.

1. Remove the transceiver from the protective packaging.

2. Verify that the transceiver is the correct model for the

network configuration.

3. Grasp the transceiver between your thumb and forefinger.

4. Insert the transceiver into the proper SFP/SFP+ slot on the

switch as illustrated. Apply a light pressure to the transceiver

until it clicks and locks into position in the slot.

Console port cabling specifications:

Ensure the use of Category 5E or higher specification cabling

for 1 Gbps/1000 Mbps operation. RJ-45 console port cables

are as follows:

Note: In the following procedure you create a VLAN with

ID 20 and name ExtremeNetworks.

1. Create a VLAN:

VSP-4850GTS-PWR+:1(config)#vlan

create 20 name ExtremeNetworks type port

2. Add VLAN members:

VSP-4850GTS-PWR+:1(config)#vlan members add 20 1/4

3. Configure a management IP interface for the VLAN

(for example, 192.0.2.2)

VSP-4850GTS-PWR+:1(config)#interface vlan 20

VSP-4850GTS-PWR+:1(config)#ip address

192.0.2.2 255.255.255.0

1. Connect the console cable from the terminal to the console

port of the switch to allow initial configuration. Any terminal

or PC with the appropriate terminal emulator can be used

as the management station.

2. Set the terminal protocol on the terminal or terminal

emulation program to VT100 or VT100/ANSI.

3. Connect to the switch using the terminal or terminal

emulation application.

RJ-45/DB-9

CONSOLE CABLE

The VSP 4850GTS has an RJ-45

female connector, so a serial cable

with RJ-45 connectors, or a serial

cable with a DB-9 female connector

on one end and an RJ-45 on the

other is appropriate.

The maximum length for the console

port cable is 25 feet (8.3 meters).

Converts DB-9 MALE to RJ-45 serial

port. The adaptor can be used for PC

or device with DB-9 MALE console

port. Also, can be used with

Category 5 RJ-45 straight cable to

provide console connection.

On your VSP 4850GTS Series switch, the console port is the

RJ-45 port outlined with a blue border on the front of your

switch (note orientation). Use an RJ-45 to DB-9 cable to

connect the switch console port to your management

terminal. Use adaptors to provide different connection

options. The maximum length of a console cable is 25 feet

(8.3 meters). The following tables describe the RJ-45 and

DB-9 console port pin-out information. You can use the

pin-out information to verify or create a console cable for use

with your maintenance terminal.
