Chapter 2: Overview 2. Overview 2.1 Introduction Pro Switching System 4 Network Backup Switches are 1U 19" rackmountable layer 1 switches. They are designed to switch RJ-45 copper circuits or SC fiber optic connections using high reliability telecommunications relays or micro mirror fiber optic switch mechanisms. The various connections through the switch can be individually controlled, or all connections can be simultaneously controlled. The Network Backup Switches (NBS) models connect the C

Chapter 2: Overview Models with Ethernet control also have an intelligent automatic switching capability. This feature allows the switch to be used to monitor a specific Ethernet network connection and to automatically switch all ports (performs a system switch operation) based on whether the monitored IP address responds to ICMP echo requests (responds to PINGs) or not. See section 5.5 for additional details. 2.2 Available Models Ten Pro Switching System 4 Network Backup Switch models are av

Chapter 3: Configuration 3. Configuration The rack address is the only user-configurable setting that typically needs to be set on the Pro Switching System 4 Network Backup Switch prior to initial installation. Switch SW2 on the unit is used to set the rack’s address. The rack address identifies the rack number when remotely accessing the switch through the serial port or Ethernet port. The rack address can be set from 0x01 to 0xFF hex, with position 1 as the least significant bit and positio

Chapter 4: Installation 4. Installation 1. F ind a location suitable for installing the switch chassis, with access to AC power outlets and the connections you intend to switch through the unit. 2. During initial installation, the switch should first be powered up and the connection state be switched between “A” and “B” using the keylock switch and front panel toggle switch. This ensures that all of the internal relays or fiber optic switch mechanisms (depending on model) are in a known con

Chapter 5: Operation 5. Operation The switch contains 4, 6, 8 or 16 switch circuits (ports) depending on model. When power is applied to the unit, the appropriate power supply status indicators (PS1 and/or PS2) will light. The switch position indicators (A and B) on the front of the unit may or may not light depending on the position of the switch ports. Indicator A lights when all ports are in position A (each A port from “1” to “N” is connected to its respective COMMON port “1” through “N”)
