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 Any-to-Any RJ-45 LED Display
Code table for LED display codes.

Ports: 1 to 6 (VS-1206SFP):
Ports: 1 to 4 (VS-1204SFP):
