PathWay® Model 7321 Cat 6 RJ45 A/B/C/D Switch Application with TELNET, GUI, & CASCADE OPERATION.

The application drawing shows a COMMON Device connected to the RJ45 COMMON Port with access to four other devices, Device A, Device B, Device C and Device D, connected to the A/B/C/D ports, respectively for each of 12 channels. There is an RJ45 REMOTE port that is IP addressable, 10/100Base-T LAN connection for remote operation via Telnet commands or Graphical User Interface. There are two GANG ports: one for IN and one for OUT.

Model 7321 12-Channel RJ45 Cat6 A/B/C/D Switch with Telnet, GUI, and Cascade Operation 

FEATURES:

• Supports (12) channels of A/B/C/D switch function.
• The switch ports are transparent to all data.
• All (8) pins of the RJ45 interface are switched via break-before-make electromechanical relays.
• Switch maintains last set position on power loss and continues to pass data.
• Individual control of each channel.
• Front panel pushbutton control
• Remote Control of the switch from a 10/100-Base-T LAN Ethernet environment.
• Remote Control Telnet Command interface or Graphical User Interface that allows the user to control switch position, lockout front panel operations, control cascaded units, as well as obtain switch status and receive cascade unit status updates.
• Cascade operation allows control of switch position and lockout as well as obtaining status of another unit connected to the cascade ports through the remote Telnet Interface or Graphical User Interface of a single unit.
• Cascade operation is compatible with the Model 7320 (Catalog #307320), and other Model 7321 units.
• Front panel LED's display present position and power status.
• Cat6 compliance.
• For an 8-Channel unit, See Model 7320, Cat No 307320

The PathWay® Model 7321 12-Channel RJ45 Cat6 A/B/C/D Switch with Telnet, GUI, and Cascade Operation allows the user the capability of sharing a single port RJ45 interface device, connected to the "COMMON" port, among four other devices, connected to the A, B, C, and D ports, for each channel.  The Model 7321 is enclosed in a 3U, full rack size, all metal, black chassis designed to provide EMI/RFI shielding and fit in a standard 19" rack.

The unit can be operated by either the front panel pushbuttons or the 10/100Base-T LAN Ethernet Remote.  The unit also supports cascade operation, where other supported units can be connected and operated through a single remote port interface.  The state of the unit can be obtained from the front panel LED's or through the Remote Telnet Commands or Graphical User Interface.

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 switch's LAN port is connected to and 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.

CHANGE SWITCH POSITION & LOCK STATE

The Model 7321 is a 12-channel unit. To Change position of a channel, click on the radio button "A", "B", "C", or "D" as desired. Locking and unlocking the front panel pushbuttons can be done by clicking on the "Locked" or "Unlocked" radio buttons. (See Figure 1) 

Figure 1: Shows the Model 7321 12-channels available for Remote Management using the Graphical User Interface.

SELECTING A CASCADED MODEL 7320

When a Model 7320 is selected from the cascade, a couple of things will be different.  First, since the Model 7320 is an 8-channel unit, channels 9-12 will be blocked off.  Second, polling, and status updates, and even sometimes commands for cascaded units will be a bit slower due to latency and cascade protocol timing requirements.  All other operations can be performed as normal. (See Figure 2)

Figure 2: Channels 9-12 are blocked off, while the 8-Channel Model 7320 is selected as a unit in the Model 7321 GUI.
