PN 71-009408 Rev A June 2022
Requirements
This section describes the appliance system requirements, cable requirements, and
network connectivity. Refer to
Table 1 on page 11 for connector descriptions.
Power Requirements
Important:
The B2-800 appliance mu
st
be connected to a dedicated
208-240VAC @10A or 110-127VAC @15A circuit with no other connected equipment
and its own breaker. Installation of this appliance must comply with local and national
electrical codes. If necessary, consult with the appropriate agencies to ensure compliance.
Note:
This appliance does not support redundant power supply configurations.
Cable Requirements
You will need customer-supplied cables for connecting the appliance to your management
network and for connecting the NIC test ports to your system under test.
For cabling information, refer to Table 1 on page 11 .
PC Requirements
Refer to the Release Notes for information on the minimum PC requirements. The release
notes are available as a Related Resource on the CSC Downloads page (refer to “Related
Documentation” on page 21 ).
Network Connectivity
Note:
The terms management port and administrative port are used interchangeably.
10/100/1000 Base-T Administrative Port
The administrative port must connect to a 10/100/1000 Base-T network. Spirent
recommends the appliance be connected through a switch and isolated from your test
environment.
Tip:
The administrative port can be connected to a different subnet from the test network.
If traffic overwhelms the test network, having the administrative port on a different subnet
enables you to access the appliance and control the test currently running without
contending with a heavily loaded network.
