15 slots for A\/B Switch Cards.

Switch one card individually or switch the entire chassis through a Controller Card. You will need one Controller Card per rack chassis. If you plan to daisy chain multiple chassis the Controller Card in the first chassis controls the entire system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can choose an RS-232 Only Controller Card which enables you to gang switch via the manual toggle switch or with serial commands as well as an RS-232\/Ethernet (SNMP) Controller Card which enables you to switch the chassis from anywhere via an RS-232 or IP connection.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you want to extend RS-232\/IP control to a second daisy-chained Pro Switching System chassis order the SNMP Expansion Controller Card. This enables you to send hardware control signals and control the daisy-chained system with RS-232 messages through the RS-232\/Ethernet (SNMP) Controller Card.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSecure and fallback switching.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor fail-safe operation all the cards (except those noted) use proprietary latching or micro-mirror relay switching technology - which means data can continue to pass through even if the power has been cut off. Because the cards perform Layer 1 switching the system operates independently of data rates protocols formats or signal levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe non-latching fiber cards fall back to a Port C (chassis) to Port A connection when the power fails. When power is restored the non-latching switch card reconnects Port C to the originally selected port (A or B). These types of cards are typical when you want a fallback or failover connection during power outages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chassis also has a keyed switch so you can enable\/disable manual switching from the front-panel toggle switches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl power.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo power your chassis order one or two external power supplies and the power adapter card.
