2.5 Front - Port Types
Network Pairs: Network Pairs are connected inline in the same way an appliance would
normally be installed to the network. Network port 1 connects to one endpoint, and
Network port 2 connects to the endpoint on the opposite end of the link. Network Pairs
have a multi-tiered fail-open mechanism that allows them to preserve network connectivity
in the event of an appliance failure, or even a power failure to the DURAstream™.

Datacom Systems Inc. 2016
11
DURAstream™DS-1404, DS-1406, DS-2408 FASTstart Guide
Appliance Pairs: Appliance pairs connect the appliance to the DURAstream™ in the
same way that it would normally connect to a network. Appliance ports provide
connectivity between the network traffic and the appliance. In addition to providing the
appliance with inline network traffic, appliance pairs will also send heartbeat packets to
monitor the health of the appliance. The DURAstream™ uses this information to decide if
the appliance should be inline or cut off from live traffic.

Datacom Systems Inc. 2016
12
DURAstream™DS-1404, DS-1406, DS-2408 FASTstart Guide
Serial Port: The serial port can be used to connect to the DURAstream™ Bypass Switch
using a DB9 M/F straight through cable. Using a terminal emulator such as Tera Term or
Putty, the serial port may be accessed for login and configuration using the CLI interface.
Management Port: The management port can be used to connect to the DURAstream™
Bypass Switch using a standard copper ethernet RJ-45 cable. Using a terminal emulator
such as Tera Term or Putty, the management may be accessed for login and configuration
using the CLI interface using Telnet.

2.6 Front - Power & Status Indicators
On the front panel, the power status of the device can be determined through three
indicators labeled “POWER 1”, “POWER 2”, and “STATUS”.
The LEDs located next to each power label will illuminate green when a power supply is
connected and switched ON.
When the power indicators illuminate red, it indicates that there is either not a power
supply connected, or it is not switched ON.
Although only one power source is required to power the DURAstream™, use of a second
independent power source is strongly recommended to assure maximum link uptime.
The “STATUS”LED indicator flashes greenduring the boot-up cycle and turns solid
greenupon a successful boot sequence indicating the DURAstream™ is operational.
2.7 Rear - Power Ports
Each DURAstream™ has two power ports on the back. These dual redundant power ports
should be connected to power supplies on two separate circuits to ensure maximum link
uptime. These LED indicators function in unison with the “POWER 1”, and “POWER 2”
indicators on the front of the device.

2.8 Rear —Unit Identifiers
Important information such as the MAC address, serial number, and micron specification
of the bypass switch network links can be found on the back of the unit.
MAC: The Media Access Control (MAC) address for the management port for on the
front of the device is printed here. This is a permanent address that will indicate the unique
DURAstream™ ID to the network.
Serial: The serial number is used to identify a specific Datacom product for tracking or
support contract purposes.
L and R: The micron specifications for the Network Pairs are shown here. L stands for
Network Pair 1, R stands for Network Pair 2. It’s important for the micron specification of
the network pair to match the specification of the fiber cables being used, and the fiber
ports on the network endpoints connected to them.

3.2 Setting up the DURAstream™for Management Port Access
Step 1: First, connect your PC and your DURAstream™ using the provided Datacom
Systems DB9 M/F straight through cable. Connect the DB9 Female pin end to the serial
port on your PC and connect the DB9 Male pin to the serial port on your DURAstream™.
NOTE: For PCs without 9-pin serial ports, check with your product representative for
available sources of a USB RS-232 Serial Adapter.
Step 2: Using the supplied AC Line Cords and AC Adapters, plug the DURAstream™
into an external power source.
Step 3: Open the terminal emulation application (PuTTY or Tera Term for example) on
your PC, and use it to establish a serial connection to the DURAstream™.
Step 4: Once connected, hitting the Enter key twice in a row will bring up the login
prompt. Log in to the DURAstream™ with the default credentials of “Administrator” and
then “admin”.

4 Management Connection
4.1 Setup
Once the management port configuration on the DURAstream™ has been set up to match
your chosen network location, you must next connect the straight through CAT5 cable to
your network.
NOTE: In situations where the management port is connected directly to a laptop or PC, a
crossover cable may be required.
When the cable is connected, the LED light on the left side of the port will illuminate
green. This indicates that a link has been established with the device on the other end of
the cable. The LED on the right side of the port will occasionally blink green when traffic
is being passed.
To confirm that there is connectivity between the DURAstream™ and the connected
device, open a terminal and ping the IP address of the DURAstream™.
