DUAL CHANNEL LC DUPLEX APPLICATION WITH TELNET AND GUI:
The drawing illustrates for each channel, a device connected to the LC Duplex COMMON port sharing between two networks connected to the LC Duplex A and B ports. Channel 1 and Channel 2 are switched simultaneously. The RJ45 Remote port allows either Telnet commands or Remote GUI software for Remote Control Operation. The REMOTE is password protected.
FEATURES:
- Each of two channels allows quick connection to any one of two LC Duplex fiber optic networks from one computer.
- All fiber signals are switched via break-before-make MEMS-based mirror/prism switch technology.
- Both channels switch simultaneously.
- All fiber ports are LC duplex, multimode, 50/125 micron and support a wavelength of 850 nm.
- Local control via front-panel pushbutton.
- Control of switch position from a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet environment. IP Addressable!
- Remote Control Telnet command interface or Graphical User Interface that allows the user to control switch position, lockout front-panel operations and obtain switch position.
- Front-panel LED's display present switch position and power status.
- Remote Control of switch is password protected.
- Retains last switch position in the event of a power loss and continues to pass data.
- When power is restored, unit maintains its position and continues to pass data.
The QuickSwitch® 6302 2-Channel LC Duplex A/B Switch with Telnet and GUI allows the user the capability of sharing a single port LC Duplex interface device connected to the COMMON port among two other devices connected to the "A" and "B" ports for each channel. Both channels are switched simultaneously. Remote access can be accomplished using an Ethernet 10/100Base-T connection and Telnet or GUI.
Proper authentication is required for remote access via the 10/100Base-T connection. Users can then monitor status, lockout front panel pushbutton control, and control switch position.
The QuickSwitch® 6302 is enclosed in a 1U, full rack size, all metal black chassis designed to fit in a standard 19" rack.
Option: Wide Range Power Supply: (Cat No. 517277) CE, RoHS, and UL listed table mount power module, 100VAC/240VAC, 50/60Hz for use in place of the standard power module that is included with the unit. Has IEC 60320 C14 inlet. Ideal for international applications.
UTILIZING THE USER-FRIENDLY REMOTE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE SOFTWARE
To connect to the switch from a workstation or computer having access to the LAN that the QuickSwitch® 6302 LAN port is connected to simply launch a standard web browser and type in the appropriate IP address. The Java Applet will be automatically uploaded from the switch upon connection. The environment requirement for the GUI is Java 1.7 and above.
