Connect Power to the iBypass Switch
For power fault protection, the iBypass Switch has redundant power supplies. The
second power supply is available to support the flow of traffic to the monitoring
device in the event that the first power supply becomes unavailable. If the first
power supply is unavailable, the second power supply provides all power for the
iBypass Switch. Even if no power is available to the passive iBypass Switch,
network traffic flows uninterrupted.

power sources. The unit should now have one or both front panel Power LEDs
illuminated, depending on whether you used one power cable or two.
