To connect the VERSAstream ™ VS-1028 Multi-link Series aggregator/regenerator,
refer to Figure 23 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.
2. Connect network cables to the VERSAstream ™ NETWORK RJ45 ports. The NETWORK
RJ45 Link LED is solid green indicating link has been established between the
respective NETWORK port and network device. The LED Display Code table deciphers
the RJ45 jacks with integrated LEDs that display line status and line speed of each
port. The LED is flashing green when data is passed from the respective network
device to the network port.

3. Connect analysis devices to the VERSAstream ™ MONITOR ports. Two DRL494–2m
cables are provided to connect analysis SC ports to the MONITOR duplex-LC ports.
The LED associated with each duplex-LC jack indicates when light signal has been
detected on the respective Rx MONITOR port.
NOTE: For other typical application installations of VERSAstream ™ Multi-link aggre-
gator/regenerator series models, some NETWORK ports are duplex-LC jacks with
associated LEDs that indicate when light signal has been detected on the
respective Rx NETWORK port. And some MONITOR ports are RJ45 jacks with inte-
grated LEDs that display line status and line speed of each port as deciphered
in the The LED Display Code table. The LED is flashing green when data is
passed from the respective MONITOR device to the MONITOR port.
