To connect the VERSAstream™
VS-1028
Multi-link Series aggregator/regenerator,
refer to Figure 25 and follow these steps:
1. Two power supplies are provided. Use of the second power supply is strongly
recommended to assure uninterrupted monitoring. Connect both power supply
barrel connectors into the power 1 and 2 ports, respectively, of the VERSA-
stream™. Plug the power supplies into the external power source, furthermore,
connecting the second power supply to a different external power source circuit
than the first power supply eliminates power as a single point of failure. The
POWER 1 and 2LEDs illuminate indicating POWER 1 and 2, respectively, are
on. Either LED not illuminated indicates a defective power source and immediate
replacement is required to insure redundant power integrity.
2. Connect network cables to the VERSAstream™
NETWORK
RJ45 ports. The
NETWORK
RJ45 Link LED is solid green indicating link has been established between the
respective
NETWORK
port and network device. The LED Display Code table deciphers
the RJ45 jacks with integrated LEDs that display line status and line speed of each
port. The LED is flashing green when data is passed from the respective network
device to the network port.
3. Connect analysis devices to the VERSAstream™
MONITOR
ports. Two DRL494–2m
cables are provided to connect analysis SC ports to the
MONITOR
duplex-LC ports.
The LED associated with each duplex-LC jack indicates when light signal has been
detected on the respective Rx
MONITOR
port.
NOTE:
For other typical application installations of VERSAstream™Multi-linkaggre-
gator/regenerator series models, some
NETWORK
ports are duplex-LC jacks with
associated LEDs that indicate when light signal has been detected on the
respective Rx
NETWORK
port. And some
MONITOR
ports are RJ45 jacks with inte-
grated LEDs that display line status and line speed of each port as deciphered
in the The LED Display Code table. The LED is flashing green when data is
passed from the respective
MONITOR
device to the
MONITOR
port.
