Introducing the IP Application Switch Platform
Platform Guide: 1500, 3400, 6400, and 6800 1 - 5
Familiarizing yourself with the IP Application Switch
The IP Application Switch comes in several different hardware
configurations. Before you begin to install the IP Application Switch, you
may want to quickly review the following figures that illustrate the controls
and ports on both the front and the back of an IP Application Switch.
Using the IP Application Switch hardware
You need to be familiar with both the front and back layout of an IP
Application Switch. Figure 1.5 illustrates the front of a 6400 or 6800 series
IP Application Switch. Figure 1.6 illustrates the front view of the 1500
series. The front of the 3400 platform is very similar to the front of the 1500
series. On the front of the unit, you can turn the unit off and on, or you can
reset the unit. You can also view the indicator lights for hard disk access.
The interfaces on every IP Application Switch are labeled, so it should be
clear what each port is, no matter which hardware configuration you have
purchased.
