1.6 Safety Notices and Warnings

These explanatory labels are included in this information for the user in accordance
with the requirements of IEC 60825.1.

WARNING

A class 1 laser is safe under all conditions of normal use. Invisible laser radiation may
be emitted from optical port openings when no fiber cable is connected, avoid exposure
to laser radiation and do not stare into open optical ports.

IMPORTANT: Rack Mount Instructions are included here to call the attention of installation technicians to

pertinent safety and warning issues prior to the installation of the product as follows:

A.

Elevated Operating Ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
specified.

B.

Reduced Air Flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow

required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C.

Mechanical Loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is

not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D.

Circuit Overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply

circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over-current protection and supply
wiring. Approp riate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.

E.

E.

Reliable Earthing — Reliable earthing of rack- mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular

Reliable Earthing — Reliable earthing of rack- mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular

attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.

VS-10XX-F, VS-11XX-F, VS-12XX-F FASTstart Guide

2 Overview

This FASTstart Guide for the VS-10XX-F, VS-11XX-F, and the VS-12XX-F Network Packet
Brokers is intended to provide you with information needed to get your Network Packet Broker up
and running. Additional support, documentation and help can be found on the Datacom Systems
website: http://www.datacomsystems.com

Network Packet Brokers increase network visibility and leverages your investment in network
analyzers, probes, and security equipment. The Network Packet Broker filtering and load balancing
functionality allows you to "lighten the load" to your network analyzers, probes, and security
equipment by allowing you to filter only the data you want to monitor and distribute it among the
tools evenly. Greater selectivity and visibility accelerates problem resolution, reduces downtime and
increases enterprise productivity.

Like all Datacom Systems Data Access Products, the VERSAstream Network Packet Brokers are
compatible with all vendor hardware and can be controlled by web browser based software or
Command Line Interface (CLI), which will allow you to control all of your Network Packet Broker
products through a single interface regardless of what network appliances you choose to deploy.

2.3 Supported SFP Transceivers

Datacom Systems supports the following small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers and
enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceivers:

2.4 Front — Any-to-Any Ports

When receiving traffic, the Any-to-Any ports on the front of the VERSAstream can be connected to
Tap outputs, SPAN ports, and mirror ports.

When transmitting traffic, the Any-to-Any ports can be connected to devices such as security
probes, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and packet analyzers.

VS-10XX-F, VS-11XX-F, VS-12XX-F FASTstart Guide

2.5 Front — Power & Status Indicators

On the front panel, the power status of the device can be determined through three indicators labeled
“POWER 1”, “POWER 2”, and “STATUS”.

12-Port Versions

24-Port Versions

The LEDs located next to each power label will illuminate green when a power supply is
connected and switched ON.

When the power indicators illuminate red, it indicates that there either is not a power supply
connected, or it is not switched ON.

Although only one power source is required to power the VERSAstream, use of a second
independent power source is strongly recommended to assure uninterrupted monitoring.

The “STATUS” LED indicator is orange during the boot-up cycle and turns green upon a
successful boot sequence indicating the VERSAstream is operational.

NOTE: The “STATUS” LED indicator indicates the device is ready several seconds before it is
ready to respond to Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.

2.6 Front — Display and Buttons

The display shows Serial and Management Port status. The Selectable Buttons are for future
use.

VS-10XX-F, VS-11XX-F, VS-12XX-F FASTstart Guide

2.7 Rear — Power Module

Each VERSAstream has two power modules on the back. These are for dual redundant power
supplies and should be connected to two separate circuits to ensure uninterrupted monitoring. Each
power module has an AC power socket, an AC power switch, and two LED indicators labeled “AC”

and “DC”. These LED indicators function in unison with the “POWER 1”, and “POWER 2”

indicators on the front of the device.
The LEDs located next to the “AC” and “DC” labels will illuminate green when a power supply is

connected and switched ON.
If either LED is illuminated red, it indicates a defective power source. Immediate investigation is

recommended to insure redundant power integrity.

2.8 Rear — Management Module

The SERIAL 1 connector port is a shielded DB9
Female. This port can be connected to the COM
port of any compatible network tool or PC in
order to access the Command Line Interface for
device configuration.

The SERIAL 2 connector port is reserved for future use.

The MANAGEMENT connector port is a shielded RJ45 and is cabled to the network.

The Media Access Control (MAC) address identifier and certification compliance identifiers are
provided on this rear label.
