VS-1200 Data Acccess Switch

3.2Front Panel Description

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

An explanation of each front panel legend follows:

3.2.1Power

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.

3.2.2Any-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.
