To connect the VERSAstream

™

VS-1022SX-SX

SPAN Series aggregator/regenerator,

refer to Figure 13 and follow these steps:

1. Two power supplies are provided. Use of the second power supply is strongly

recommended to assure uninterrupted monitoring. Connect both power supply

barrel connectors into the power 1 and 2 ports, respectively, of the VERSA-

stream

™

. Plug the power supplies into the external power source, furthermore,

connecting the second power supply to a different external power source circuit

than the first power supply eliminates power as a single point of failure. The

POWER 1 and 2 LEDs illuminate indicating power 1 and 2, respectively, are on.

Either LED not illuminated indicates a defective power source and immediate

replacement is required to insure redundant power integrity.
