2 Overview
The configurable VS-1200-S family of products increases network visibility and leverages your
investment in network analyzers, probes, and security equipment by allowing you to simultaneously
monitor as manysupported configurable ports as youmayneed to fit your peripheralnetwork tools.
Greater visibility accelerates problemresolution, reduces downtime and increases enterprise
productivity.
The configurable family ofproducts are compatible with allvendor hardware and can be controlled
by our Command Line Interface (CLI) software, which will allow you to controlallofyour
configurable family ofproducts through a single interface regardless ofwhat network appliances you
choose to deploy.
2.1 VS-1200-S Series Summary
The configurable VERSAstream Data Access Switch cancombine data frommultiple Ethernet
network segments into one data stream. A single Gigabit device/tool, such as anintrusiondetection
system, protocolanalyzer, or network probe can receive the aggregated data withjust one network
interface card (NIC).
The configurable product can also have additionalinput/output ports or Any-to-Any ports, so
multiple Gigabit devices can receive the same data stream. This allows different network tools to
collect data fromthe same network segments at the same time, eliminating contention for access to
the network. Also, these ports canbe configured as more input ports to include more network
segments for monitoring.
Network administrators no longer need a separate toolfor eachnetwork segment to achieve
simultaneous 24x7 monitoring of multiple links, nor do theyneed to "switch"to a different segment to
collect data fromit. A VS-1200-S series unit simultaneously collects data frommultiple network
segments and aggregates allthe data before sendingit to the connected network tools, expanding
network visibility and reducing the number oftools needed on the network And, because the VS-
1200-S series aggregates allthe data before sending it to the connected network tool, youcan
always view the entire conversation even in asymmetric routing, redundant, and load-balanced
environments.
Aggregation gives a complete view of traffic. Instead ofcollecting and manually assembling trace or
log files fromseparate tools on separate network segments, the VS-1200-S lets security and
analysis tools collect the data in a single file. In security applications, events and false positives are
recorded fewer times. Inallapplications, data can be analyzed faster than ever, increasing uptime
and saving money.
The VERSAstream™Data Access Switch VS-1200-S series is adaptable; allports canbe
configured to be input or output ports. These switches adapt with your ever-changing network.

one power supply is required to power the module, use ofa second independent power source is
strongly recommended to assure uninterrupted monitoring. Furthermore, connecting the second AC
input power socket to a different externalpower source circuit thanthe first AC input power source
eliminates power as a single point offailure. The power barrelsockets are located on the rear.
3.2.2 Any-to-Any Ports
Designated as INPUT or OUTPUT by 'Superuser' for use as input or output ports. See Serialand
Management Port - Command Line Interface - Superuser Commands - 'SET PORT MONITOR
(SE PO MO )' section for more information.
Ports:1to 8(VS-1210BT/SFP-S or VS-1208BT-S) and Ports:1to 4(VS-1204BT-S):
are RJ45 connectors used for connection to network devices or tools. These jacks have integrated
LEDs that displayline status and line speed ofeach port. See the Any-to-Any RJ-45 LED Display
Code table for LED display codes.
Ports:9to 10 (VS-1210BT/SFP-S) and Ports:1to 10 (VS-1210SFP-S):are sockets used with a
smallform-factor plug (SFP) module for connection to network devices or tools. They can be
connected through fiber or copper, or a mix ofeach.
LX-BT/SX-BT - The LEDs located to the right ofthe SFP connectors are solid green indicating a link
has been detected between the respective Any-to-Any Rx port and network device/toolTx port or
network segment. The LEDs are flashing green when data is passed.

a standard PC using any Telnet terminalemulation application.
Link indicates connection. The LED DisplayCode table deciphers the RJ45 jacks with integrated
LEDs that display line status ofthe MANAGEMENT PORT.
3.3 Rear Panel Description
This section provides a description ofthe rear panelofthe VS-1200-S series.
or
An explanation of each rear panellegend follows:
3.3.1 Serial DB9
The SERIAL connector port is a shielded DB9 Female and is cabled to the COM port ofany
compatible network toolor PC where HyperTerminalsoftware resides. It is the only port that can
easily connect the Management PC to set the IP address (default 192.168.1.1) for the first time.
3.3.2 Power Switch (SFP series)
The front panelPOWER 1, POWER 2 LEDs are illuminated green, respectively, when the DC power
switch is depressed ON and DC power is available at both the two rear DC power sockets. Either
POWER 1, POWER 2 LED illuminated red indicates a defective power source and immediate
investigation as to the cause is required to insure redundant power integrity.

3.3.4 Rear Labeling (SFP series)
SerialNumber (SN) identifier, Media Access Control(MAC) address identifier, input power
requirements, certification compliance identifiers and various other information are provided on this
rear label.
3.3.5 Input Power
Two DC input power sockets are provided on the rear panel. The front panelPOWER 1 and 2
LEDs are illuminated green, respectively:
(SFP series) - when the DC POWER switch is depressed ON and DC power is available at
both the two rear DC power sockets; or
(BT series) - whenDC power is available at both the two rear DC power sockets.
Either POWER 1 or 2LED not illuminated whenpowered, indicates a defective power source and
immediate investigation as to the cause is required to insure redundant power integrity.
Although only one switching AC adapter power supply is required to power the configurable unit,
use ofa second independent power source is strongly recommended to assure uninterrupted
monitoring. Furthermore, connecting the second DC input power socket to a different external
power source circuit thanthe first DC input power source eliminates power as a single point of
failure.

Initial Configuration 19
© 2011 Datacom Systems Inc
4 Initial Configuration
IMPORTANT: Prior to initial configuration of the hardware, it is imperative to review the
entire Initial Configuration section before proceeding to the Installation section.
This section explains the considerations and requirements for the initialconfigurationof the VS-
1200-S series by a Command Line Interface (CLI) witha management PC using a terminal
emulation application connected either through the SERIAL DB9 port or though the MANAGEMENT
RJ45 port. Only one configuration session can be open at a time.
4.1 Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Command Line Interface (CLI ) is used to:
set IP address (default 192.168.1.1), Subnet Mask (default 255.255.255.0) and Gateway
(default 0.0.0.0)
set port speed and duplex
enables the user to select whichports or groups ofports receive the data streamcopies
allows Any-to-Any ports to be configured as either inputs or outputs.
The VS-1200-S series factory default is off for all Any-to-Any ports.
4.1.1 Basic Functionality
WindowSize Functionality: The CLI window is limited to 24 lines per screen and 80 characters
per line. If more data than can fit is presented, a “-more-” prompt is shown on the last line.
Character Handling: Printable character (ASCII code 32-126) and non-printable noted below:
Non-Printable Character Description
<enter key> Executes command; places command in history buffer
<backspace key> Erases previous character entry; removes history buffer entry
Connectivity/Authentication Functionality: Connectivity to the configurable product is made
throughthe Management RJ45 or SerialDB9 port and authentication is required. This password
protection yields read-only access. To make configuration changes, Superuser (SU) mode must be
accessed with another password. See the 'Superuser Commands ' section for more information.
Base Prompt: This is the text presented to the user logging in to use the CLI (default values
shown). AllUsernames and passwords are case-sensitive.
Enter Username:Administrator
Enter Password:admin

4.1.2 Password Recovery
Password Recoveryis provided for cases where a user has forgottenthe Superuser and/or
Administrator login password. Password recovery is accomplished by connecting to the unit serially
using a HyperTerminallike programand rebooting the unit. As the power-up sequence is occurring,
depress <Control> <C>. Upon receipt of this command, a text recovery key willbe generated and
displayed prior to the prompt. This keyis used to reset the passwords. An example recoverykey
prompt is:617A6185774$
You must callDatacomService Center with this recovery key in order to obtain the required
response to reset passwords. Givena valid reset response, the factory default passwords willbe
saved in Non-Volatile memory. Ifan invalid response is given, a new recovery key willbe calculated
and displayed at the prompt, as described above, after first clearing the screen.
4.1.3 Basic Commands (Read Only Access)
The following section shows the long formofthe basic command set with the shortcut input for the
command noted in parenthesis. Allcommands, either the exact long formor the shortcut form, are
entered after the prompt (default >) at the cursor. No auto-fillmode is available. After the topic
heading, a briefoverview of the command display function is given followed by an example
(Example:>) command input.
4.1.3.1 HELP (HE) or (?)
Whenthis command is entered, a list ofcommands, their shortcut inputs, and their descriptions will
