The Brocade Mobility RFS7000 Controller is a high-performance member of
Brocade’s Wireless Controller family. The Mobility RFS7000 Controller provides
centralized Wireless LAN (WLAN) configuration and management by coalescing a
network “intelligence” previously spread across physically distributed access
points. By replacing access points with simpler access ports (or “thin” access
points), the Mobility RFS7000 Controller becomes a WLAN’s single point of contact,
thus reducing wireless networking complexity by moving management out of the
ceiling and into the wiring closet. In addition, through the use of patented Virtual AP
architecture, the Mobility RFS7000 Controller lets you create multiple WLANs
without changing or adding to the existing wired network infrastructure.

This document is written for the network device installer.

Power protection

• If possible, use a circuit dedicated to data processing equipment. Commercial

electrical contractors are familiar with wiring for data processing equipment
and can help with the load balancing of these circuits.

• Install surge protection. Be sure to use a surge protection device between the

electricity source and the Mobility RFS7000 Controller.

• Install an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). A UPS provides continuous

power during a power outage. Some UPS devices have integral surge
protection. UPS equipment requires periodic maintenance to ensure reliability.
A UPS of the proper capacity for the data processing equipment must be
purchased.

The Mobility RFS7000 Controller has four vertically-stacked LEDs on its front panel.
Each of the switch’s Gigabit Ethernet ports have two status LEDs. These LEDs
display two colors (green & amber), and three lit states (solid, blinking, and off). The
following tables decode the combinations of LED colors and states for the System
Status LEDs and the Gigabit Ethernet LEDs.

Cabling information

The Mobility RFS7000 Controller has four RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, four Gigabit
SFP (fiber) ports, one Out-of-band management port and one Console connector.
The diagram shows each of those ports and the cables or devices attached to
them. The sections that follow describe detailed connection and cabling
information for each port. For software configuration, please see the Mobility
RFS7000 Controller System Reference Guide available from the Brocade website.

Gigabit Ethernet on the Mobility RFS7000 Controller

The Mobility RFS7000 Controller has four RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports and four
Gigabit SFP (fiber optic) ports. Using the RJ-45 ports requires connecting a
Category-6 Ethernet cable to the port. To use the Gigabit SFP ports, first install the

The Mobility RFS7000 Controller contains two USB ports for connecting USB flash
storage devices to the switch. The switch can use the USB flash storage devices for
file transfers and firmware updates. Follow the setup instructions below to connect
the devices to the switch and then access those devices through the Web UI or
Command Line Interface.

1. Connect the USB flash drive to either of the USB ports.

2. Wait a few seconds for the drive to be recognized by the switch.

3. Follow the instructions in the Mobility RFS7000 Controller System Reference

Guide or Mobility RFS7000 Controller CLI Reference for more information on
accessing USB storage devices from the switch for file transfers or firmware
updates.

To add the Mobility RFS7000 Controller to the network and prepare it for initial
configuration:

1. Using the supplied console cable (pictured below), connect the Mobility
RFS7000 Controller serial port to an RS-232 (DB-9) serial port on a separate
computer (the “configuration computer”).

2. On the configuration computer, configure a terminal emulation application
(such as HyperTerminal) as follows:

Supplying power to the Mobility RFS7000 Controller

1. Plug an approved AC power cord into the power connector at the back of the

Mobility RFS7000 Controller.

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

An improper shutdown can render the Mobility RFS7000 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.

Verifying the installation

4

Verifying the installation

View the LEDs on the front panel of the Mobility RFS7000 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 Mobility RFS7000
Controller is ready to be configured, as described in the Mobility RFS7000
Controller System Reference Guide.

Other LED codes indicate the presence (or absence) of different standby states, or
errors. A guide to the Mobility RFS7000 Controller LEDs codes is provided in “LED

Codes” on page 7.
