3.2 Front Panel Description
This section provides a illustration and description of the front panel of the VS-1200-S 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
