2 Overview
The Filtered VERSAstream™(FVS) product line increases network visibilityand leverages your investment in
network analyzers, probes, and security equipment by allowing you to simultaneously monitor as many
supported ports as you mayneed to fit your peripheralnetwork tools. Greater visibilityaccelerates problem
resolution, reduces downtime and increases enterprise productivity.
Like allDatacomSystems filtered products, the FVS-1044 and FVS-1080 filtered products are compatible
with allvendor hardware and can be controlled by our FLOWcontrol software, which will allow you to
controlyour filtered product line through a single interface regardless ofwhat network appliances you choose to
deploy.
The Filtered VERSAstream™product line gives you access to your network without creating bottlenecks by
providing the capabilityto monitor, aggregate and filter network traffic to an analysis device or sensor.
Aggregation combines two or more streams of network traffic into one link. Aggregated network traffic may
overload or oversubscribe an analysis device. Filtering unwanted network traffic reduces the potential for
oversubscribing. The Filtered VERSAstream™product line features hardware based, line-rate filtering. This
allows you to eliminate unwanted network traffic from analysis tools or sensors. Filtering also gives you the
ability to deploy lower speed tools on higher speed networks.

3 Hardware
This section provides an illustration and description ofthe FVS series product:
FVS-1044
FVS-1080
An explanation of each front panellegend follows:
3.1 Power
Two AC power sources are provided for the filtered product unit. Although only one power source 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 external
power source circuit than the first AC input power source eliminates power as a single point offailure. The
power sockets are located on the rear.
The POWER 1 and 2front panelLEDs illuminate green when power is available at both of the two rear power
sockets indicating power 1 and 2, respectively, are on. Either LED not illuminated indicates immediate
investigation is recommended ifboth power sources are being used and a power led is not illuminated to insure
redundant power integrity.
3.2 Any-to-Any Ports
SFP or RJ45 — SFPare SmallFormPluggable (canbe LX or SX) or RJ45 are RJ45 connectors used for
connection to network segments or analysis tools. Betweenthe connectors are LEDs that display line status and
line speed ofeachport. A solid light indicates the Fiber SFP or RJ45 10/100/1000BaseT port is connected. A
blinking light indicates the presence oftraffic.

3.3 Management Port
The MANAGEMENT PORT is an RJ45 socket used for 10/100 Mbs fixed full-duplex connection with a straight-
through LAN cable via your management LAN to a Remote Management Console which is a standard PC
running FLOWcontrol .
Link indicates connection. The LED Display Code table deciphers the RJ45 jacks withintegrated LEDs that
displayline status ofthe MANAGEMENT PORT.
3.4 Serial USB
The SERIAL connector port is a shielded USB type A Female and is cabled to the COM port of any compatible
network toolor PC where FLOWcontrol Software resides. It is the only port that can easily connect the
Management PC to set the IP address for the first time.
3.5 Rear Panel
Two AC input power sockets are provided on the rear panel.The POWER 1 and 2front panelLEDs illuminate
green whenpower is available at both ofthe two rear power sockets indicating power 1 and 2, respectively,
are on. Either front panelLED not illuminated indicates immediate investigation is recommended ifbothpower
sources are being used and a power led is not illuminated to insure redundant power integrity.

4 Initial Configuration
IMPORTANT: Review the following section prior to initial configuration of the hardware.
IMPORTANT: Detailed Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax information is found in the 'Appendix
1 - Command Line Interface (CLI) ' section.
Initialconfiguration is performed directly with a terminal emulation application on a management PC connected
to the FVS through the SERIAL USB-style type A port. After initialconfiguration, the FVS canbe remotely
operated though the MANAGEMENT RJ45 port. Only one configuration session can be open at a time.
4.1 SERIAL Port Configuration
Once the FVS SERIAL port hardware connection is made, open the terminal emulator application on the
management PC and create a connection with the settings that fit your needs:
FVS-1044
FVS-1080
2400 bits persecond
9600 bits persecond
8 data bits

4.2 IP Address
AllFVS filtered products are assigned an IP address (192.168.1.1) by default. You must change the IP
address to match your network.
NOTE: Ifyour FVS already has an IP address for your network, you may proceed to the 'SmallForm-Factor
Plug Module ' section.
Step 1. First, connect your terminalemulator application PC and FVS using the provided DatacomSystems
DRL434-6-R cable. Connect the DB9 Female pin end to the serialport on your PC and connect the USB-
style Type A end to the SERIAL port on the unit.
NOTE: For PCs without 9-pin serialports, check with you product representative for available sources
ofa USB to RS-232 Plug-in Adapter.
Step 2. Open the terminalemulator application on your PC.
Step 3. Create a seriallink by selecting the COM port assigned to the serialport on your PC.
Step 4. Next, configure the COM Properties. The initialcorrect setting to communicate with the FVS series
product (9600, 8, None, 1, None) are shown below. Once allsettings are configured correctly, you can
connect to your Filtered VERSAstream™product.
Step 5. Next, plug the FVS into the externalpower source using the supplied AC line cord. Note that either
POWER 1 or 2LED is illuminate green indicating power is available at the rear AC power socket to which the
AC Line Cord is connected. The other POWER LED is not illuminated, indicating a lack ofpower to the
unconnected AC power socket.

4.3 Small Form-Factor Plug Module
This section provides information about smallform-factor plug (SFP) modules. The SFP modules are input/
output devices that plug into a Gigabit Ethernet (GE) smallform-factor (SFF) port, linking the port witha
1000Base-X fiber.
The fiber SFP module have a receiver port (Rx) and a transmitter port (Tx) that make up one opticalinterface.
The 1000Base-SX (short wavelength) SFP module operates on standard multimode fiber networks compliant
withthe 1000Base SX standard. The 1000Base-LX (long wavelength) SFP module operates onstandard
single-mode fiber networks compliant withthe 1000Base LX standard. The fiber SFP module is a 1000 Mbps
opticalinterface in the formof an LC-type duplex port that supports interfaces compliant with the 1000Base-X
standard.
4.3.1 Installation Prerequisites
This section describes safety and compliance guidelines you should observe before you install an SFP module in
your FVS unit.
NOTE: You can installand remove SFP modules with power on to the system; however, it is strongly
recommended that you do not installor remove the SFP module withfiber or copper cables attached to it.
Disconnect allcables before removing or installing a SFP module.
CAUTION: Prevent systemproblems, use only DatacomSystems Inc. supplied SFP modules.
4.3.2 Safety Guidelines
Before handling a SFP module, observe the following guidelines:
Copper and fiber SFP modules are static-sensitive. To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, follow
your normalESD handling procedures.
Fiber SFP modules are dust-sensitive. When storing a SFP module or when a fiber cable is not plugged in,
always keep plugs in the SFP module opticalhole.
The most common source ofcontaminants inthe fiber SFP opticalaperture is debris picked up on the
terminations ofthe opticalconnectors. Use an alcoholswab or lint-free absorbent wipes to cleanthe
terminations of the opticalconnector.
WARNING: Fiber SFP modules are class 1 laser and LED products. Invisible laserradiation may be
emitted from the port opening when no fibercable is connected, avoid exposure to laser radiation and
do not stare in open optical ports.

4.3.3 Installing the SFP Module
SFP modules might ship alreadyinstalled in your FVS or they might arrive packaged separately. This section
describes how to installthe SFP module.
NOTE: You can installSFP modules with power on to the system; however, it is strongly recommended that
you do not installthe SFP module withfiber or copper cables attached to it. Disconnect allcables before
installing a SFP module.
CAUTION: Prevent systemproblems, use only DatacomSystems Inc. supplied SFP modules.
Step 1. Turnthe SFP module so the latchis towards the center ofthe Gigabit Ethernet Interface sockets. The
SFP module is keyed so that it cannot be inserted incorrectly.
Step 2. Insert the SFP module into the SFF port and repeat Step 1 and Step 2 inserting other SFP modules
untilcompleted.
Step 3. Attachthe appropriate network cable to the LC-type or RJ45-type connector onthe SFP module. For
fiber optic SFP modules you can use either simplex or duplex connectors. For simplex connectors, two cables
are required, one cable for transmit (Rx) and a second cable for receive (Rx). For duplexconnectors, only one
cable that has both Tx and Rx connectors is required.
4.3.4 Removing the SFP Module
SFP modules might ship alreadyinstalled in your FVS or they might arrive packaged separately. This section
describes how to remove the SFP module.
NOTE: You can remove SFP modules with power on to the system; however, it is strongly recommended that
you do not remove the SFP module withfiber or copper cables attached to it. Disconnect allcables before
removing a SFP module.
Step 1. Disconnect the network cable fromthe SFP module LC-type or RJ45-type connector.
Step 2. Release the SFP module fromthe GE SFF port by moving the swing latch away fromthe body ofthe
unit.
Step 3. Slide the SFP module out ofthe GE SFF port.
