xiv RFS7000 Series Switch System Reference Guide
Overview
The RFS7000 switch is a centralized management solution for wireless networking. It connects to non-legacy
access ports through L2 or L3 (L2 is preferable, if the situation allows it).
Access ports function as radio antennas for data traffic management and routing. System configuration and
intelligence for the wireless network resides with the switch. The switch uses access ports to bridge data to
and from wireless devices. The wireless switch applies appropriate policies to data packets before forwarding
them to their destination.
All data packets to and from wireless devices are processed by the switch, where appropriate policies are
applied before they are decapsulated and sent to their destination.
Access port configuration is managed by the switch through a Web UI Graphical User Interface (GUI), SNMP
or the switch Command Line Interface (CLI).
1.1 Hardware Overview
The RFS7000 is a rack-mountable device that manages all inbound and outbound traffic on the wireless
network. It provides security, network service and system management applications.
Unlike traditional wireless infrastructure devices that reside at the edge of a network, the switch uses
centralized, policy-based management to apply sets of rules or actions to all devices on the wireless network.
It collects management “intelligence” from individual access ports/points and moves the collected information
into the centralized switch.
Access ports (APs) are 48V Power-over-Ethernet devices connected to the switch by an Ethernet cable. An
access port receives 802.11x data from MUs and forwards the data to the switch which applies the appropriate
policies and routes the packets to their destinations.
Overview
1-2
Access ports do not have software or firmware upon initial receipt from the factory. When the access port is
first powered on and cleared for the network, the switch initializes the access port and installs a small
firmware file automatically. Installation and firmware upgrades are automatic and transparent.
1.1.1 Physical Specifications
The physical dimensions and operating parameters of the switch include:
1.1.1.1 Power Cord Specifications
A power cord is not supplied. Use only a correctly rated power cord certified for the country of operation.
1.1.1.2 Power Protection
To best protect the switch from unexpected power surges or other power-related problems, ensure the system
installation meets the following power protection guidelines:
• If possible, use a dedicated circuit to protect data processing equipment. Commercial electrical
contractors are familiar with wiring for data processing equipment and can help with the load
balancing of dedicated circuits.
• Install surge protection. Use a surge protection device between the electricity source and the switch.
• Install an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). A UPS provides continuous power during a power
outage. Some UPS devices have integral surge protection. UPS equipment requires periodic
maintenance to ensure reliability. A UPS of the proper capacity for the data processing equipment
must be purchased.
Width 440mm (17.32 in)
Height 44.45mm (1.75 in)
Depth 390.8mm (15.38 in)

1.1.1.3 Cabling Requirements
The RFS7000 has four RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet ports, four Gigabit SFP (fiber) ports, one out-of-band
management port and one console connector. The illustration below displays each of ports and the cables or
devices attaching to them.
Again, a power cord is not supplied with the switch. Use only a correctly rated power cord certified for the
country of operation. Initial installation instructions are described in the RFS7000 Series Switch Installation
Guide included with the switch.

1.1.2 System Status LED Codes
The RFS7000 has four vertically-stacked LEDs on its front panel. Each of the switch’s Gigabit Ethernet ports
have two status LEDs. These LEDs display two colors (green & amber), and three lit states (solid, blinking, and
off). The following tables describe the combinations of LED colors and states for the System Status LEDs and
the Gigabit Ethernet LEDs.

NOTE When starting the switch, the Temperature Status LED will be Solid Amber. This is
normal behavior and does not indicate an error. At the completion of the start-up
process, the Temperature Status LED will switch to Solid Green.
