Auto FALLBACK Operation:

The QuickSwitch® 4181 SC Duplex A/B 100BaseFX Auto Fallback Switch can operate in either of two modes, as a Fallback Switch or as an A/B Switch.  In the Fallback mode, the unit monitors its environment for SD (signal detect) to determine its switch position.

If the primary link is lost, the unit sends an alarm notification message; when the fiber link is restored, an acknowledgement message is also sent.  In the A/B Switch mode, the unit can be switched from its front panel pushbutton, or remotely by communicating with the unit via its Remote-Control Supervisory Port located on the rear panel.

While in the Fallback mode, the unit will maintain connection from the Common port to port A while SD is present on the A port.  If SD is absent or lost, the unit automatically switches to the fiber link connected to port B.  Once SD has been restored and is sensed at port A, the switch automatically returns to the A position.  The unit can be setup to respond differently to the loss and recovery of the primary fiber link A.

The switch may be controlled locally by manually operating the front-panel pushbutton.  The front-panel LED display indicates the switch position and unit power status.
