The Mobility RFS6000 Controller is a high-performance member of Brocade’s
Wireless Controller family. The Mobility RFS6000 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 RFS6000 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 RFS6000 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 RFS6000 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 RFS6000 Controller has four vertically-stacked LEDs on its front panel.
Each of the controller’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.

Gigabit Ethernet on the Mobility RFS6000 Controller
The Mobility RFS6000 Controller has nine RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports and one
Gigabit SFP (fiber optic) port. Using the RJ-45 ports requires connecting a
Category-6 Ethernet cable to the port. To use the Gigabit SFP port, first install the
SFP module (Part No. FIBER-3000-1S-WWR).

Connecting USB devices
NOTE
Connecting USB devices
The Mobility RFS6000 Controller contains one USB port for connecting USB flash
storage devices to the controller. The controller can use the USB flash storage
device for file transfers and firmware updates. Follow the setup instructions below
to connect the devices to the controller and then access those devices through the
Web UI or Command Line Interface.

1. Connect the USB flash drive to the USB .
2. Wait a few seconds for the drive to be recognized by the controller.
3. Follow the instructions in the Brocade Mobility RFS Controller System
Reference Guide or Brocade Mobility RFS Controller CLI Reference for more
information on accessing USB storage devices from the controller for file
transfers or firmware updates..
The controller supports USB flash devices formatted with FAT or VFAT (FAT32)
filesystems only. If your flash storage device is formatted with another filesystem you
will need to format

Rack mount instructions
To install the Mobility RFS6000 Controller in a rack:
1. The rack mounting brackets are installed at the factory. No additional steps are
needed.
2. Attach the brackets to the rack using screws appropriate for your rack’s
mounting holes.
Mobility RFS6000 Controller console port setup
To add the Mobility RFS6000 Controller to the network and prepare it for initial
configuration:
1. Using the supplied console cable (pictured below), connect the Mobility
RFS6000 Controller serial port to an RS-232 (DB-9) serial port on a separate
computer (the “configuration computer”).

Verifying the installation
CAUTION
4
.An improper shutdown can render the Mobility RFS6000 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
View the LEDs on the front panel of the Mobility RFS6000 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 RFS6000
Controller is ready to be configured, as described in the Brocade Mobility RFS
Controller System Reference Guide.
Other LED codes indicate the presence (or absence) of different standby states, or
errors. A guide to the Mobility RFS6000 Controller LEDs codes is provided in
Codes” on page 7.
