5 Hardware Installation
This section describes the VS-1200 series hardware installation at the network site of your choice.
For specific VS-1200 applications see the 'Application ' section.

5.1 Power

This section describes the power connection at the network installation site of the VS-1200
configurable series.
or
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 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 series hardware
