The Brocade Mobility RFS4000 Controller is a member of Brocade’s Mobility
wireless controller family. The Brocade Mobility RFS4000 Controller provides
centralized Wireless LAN (WLAN) configuration and management by coalescing a
network “intelligence” previously spread across physically distributed access
points. The Brocade Mobility RFS4000 Controller simplifies deployment of a
Wired/Wireless 802.11 a/b/g/n network, for a SME/SMB. With the integrated
Layer 2/Layer 3 Networking Services such as integrated Layer 2 Switching with
PoE+ ports, Onboard DHCP Server, Security Services like Wired/Wireless Firewall,
Wireless IDS/IPS, Onboard AAA Server and IPSEC VPN Gateway, and QoS
mechanisms to support Voice & Video , the Brocade Mobility RFS4000 Controller
transforms the enterprise by delivering a SMART Branch. The Brocade Mobility
RFS4000 Controller is the WLAN’s point of management reducing wireless
networking complexity by moving management out of the ceiling and into the wiring
closet. The RFS4000 can adopt upto 6 Adaptive APs or Thin Access Points and does
not require any additional licenses at this time, for AP adoption.

Controller

Power Inlet

1. Plug the power supply (Part Number: 50-14000-244R) into the power inlet at
the back of the Brocade Mobility RFS4000 Controller.

2. Plug the cord into a standard AC outlet with a voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC.

CAUTION

An improper shutdown can render the Brocade Mobility RFS4000
Controller inoperable such that it could require service by Brocade
Support. Do not remove AC power without first following the shutdown
procedure. An abrupt loss of power can corrupt the information stored
on the device.

CAUTION

Using the switch reset button will reset all configuration information
and settings on the switch to factory defaults. All previously configured
information and settings will be lost. The country code will need to be
set when the switch is rebooted before any access ports or adaptive
APs will be adopted.

Verifying the installation

View the LEDs on the front panel of the Brocade Mobility RFS4000 Controller to
ensure the device is functioning properly. The normal LED pattern follows this path:

• During the Power On Self Test (POST), the System 1 and System 2 LEDs both

blink green.

• If the POST test fails, the System 1 LED will blink amber. If the POST test

succeeds, the System 1 LED will be lit solid green.

• As the software is initialized, the System 2 LED will blink green.

After the software has finished initializing, the System 1 LED will be lit solid green
and the bottom System 2 LED will be off. The Brocade Mobility RFS4000 Controller
is ready to be configured, as described in the Brocade Mobility RFS4000, RFS6000
and RFS7000 System Reference Guide available from the Brocade website at

http://www.brocade.com/support/.

Other LED codes indicate the presence (or absence) of different standby states, or
errors. A guide to the Brocade Mobility RFS4000 Controller LED codes is provided in

LED Codes on page 3-7.
