3.2 Front 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:
3.2.1 Power
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.
3.2.2 Any-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.
Ports: 1 to 8 (VS-1210BT/SFP or VS-1208BT):
Ports: 1 to 4 (VS-1204BT ):
are RJ45 connectors used for connection to network devices or tools. These jacks have integrated
LEDs that display line status and line speed of each port. See the

Code table for LED display codes.
