Remote Control access can be accomplished using an Ethernet 10/100Base-T connection and Graphical User Interface.  The unit can also be controlled via RS232 ASCII commands through the Rear Panel DB9 Remote Port.  The Model 7369 is enclosed in a 1U, full rack size, all metal, black chassis designed to provide EMI/RFI shielding and fit in a standard 19" rack. 

OPTION: WIDE RANGE POWER MODULE

(Cat No 517277) CE, RoHS, and UL listed table mount power module, 100 VAC-240 VAC, 50Hz-60Hz for use in place of standard power module that is included with the unit. Has IEC 60320 C14 inlet.  Ideal for international applications.

ETHERNET REMOTE PORT, I.P. ADDRESSABLE, WITH HTTPS GUI

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 Model 7369s 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.

LOGGING into the GUI

• Once logged in, the user can perform one of several actions:
• Change the switch position.
• Lockout control of the switch's front panel.
• Change the login password.
• Enable or Disable password protection.
• Re-configure the switch's IP address.

SOFTWARE FEATURES:

• Access User Interface via standard Web browser.
• Easy to use, simple point and click operation.
• Remotely access to control or monitor the Model 7369 Switch.
• Users can change the switch's IP address.
• LAN access gives users across the LAN or over the Internet access to control if user network is configured accordingly.

CHANGING SWITCH POSITION AND LOCK STATUS

To change the switch position of a channel, click on the radio button "A" or "B" as desired for each channel.  Locking and unlocking the front panel pushbutton can be done by clicking on the "Locked" or "Unlocked" radio buttons for each channel. See Figure 2 . 

Figure 2: Change the position & lockout from the GUI.

USING GANG CONTROLS

Gang controls can be used to change the position or state of all channels simultaneously.  When both channels are in the same position or state, that position or state will be selected by the gang controls.  If one of the channels is in a different position or state, that respective gang control will not have either option selected.  See Figure 3. 

Figure 3: Gang Control, change all channels simultaneously.

QUERYING THE STATUS OF THE UNIT

Once connected, the GUI will stay “up-to-date” on the current position and status of the unit.  Any changes that are made outside the GUI, such as by pushbutton, will be reflected in the GUI.  These changes will cause the radio buttons of the GUI to automatically change to show the new status. The GUI will report the source of the most recent change in the bottom left of the panel.  See Figure 4
