up the BSC by following the procedure given in "Connecting the BSC to its Power
Source" on page 2-13.
Connecting the BlueSecure Controller to Your Network
After you have mounted the BSC chassis in place, you must:
•
connect the BSC to the protected (i.e, wired) side of your network
•
connect the BSC to the managed (i.e., the wireless) side of your network
Additionally, if you are using the BSC-1200, BSC-2100, BSC-2200/3200/5200 failover
capabilities, you must connect the BSC to a second BSC.
Follows these steps to connect the BSC to your network:
Connect the Protected Port (eth0) on the BSC to the wired side of your network.
1.
If you are connecting a single BSC to an Ethernet switch or hub, use a straight-
through cable.
Optional. If you are setting up a failover configuration, you must connect the
Protected Ports on both BSCs to an Ethernet "Y" connector or to an Ethernet hub/
switch. Next, you must run a single Ethernet cable from the Ethernet "Y" connector or
hub/switch to the wired side of the network.
Connect the Managed Port (eth1) on the BSC to the wireless side of your network.
2.
If you are connecting to an Ethernet switch or hub, use a straight-through cable.
If you are connecting directly to a wireless access point, use a cross-over cable.
You can use all four Managed Ports to connect the BSC-600 or the BSC-1200 to the
wireless side of your network.
Optional. If you are setting up a failover configuration, you must connect the
Managed Ports on both the Primary and Secondary BSCs to an Ethernet "Y"
connector or to an Ethernet hub/switch. Next, you must run a single Ethernet cable
from the Ethernet "Y" connector or hub/switch to the wireless side of the network.
Optional. If you are setting up a failover configuration, interconnect the Failover Ports
3.
(eth2) on the two BSCs.
Interconnect the Failover ports of each BSC directly using a cross-over cable with no
hubs or switches between the two interconnected BSCs.
Connecting the BSC to its Power Source
A power cord is supplied with the BSC to connect it to an AC power source. Ensure that
the supplied power cord is rated for the AC power available at your location.
Follow these steps when connecting the BSC to an AC power source:
Ensure the AC power switch located on the BSC rear panel is in the OFF (O) position.
1.
Connect the female end of the supplied power cord to the power receptacle located
2.
on the rear panel of the BSC.
3.
Connect the male end of the BSC power cord to an AC power source meeting the
following specifications:
•
•
Switch the AC power switch located on the BSC rear panel to the ON position (|).
4.
BlueSecure Controller models BSC-1200 power up. You must complete step 5 to
power up the BSC-2100 and BSC-2200/3200/5200.
