R6000 Controller/Swich Card Specifications

The A/B switch controller is available in three options: (Logic Only, Processor, and SNMP):

  • The Logic Only version allows Rack and System Gang Switching, in addition to the individual switching allowed on each A/B Switch Card.
  • The Processor version allows all features of the Logic Only version, with the addition of RS-232 communication on the gang-in and gang-out connectors. This allows racks to be addressed, and individual A/B Switch Cards within the rack to be switched with serial commands.
  • The SNMP version allows all features of the Processor version, with the addition of an Ethernet port for SNMP commands. There can only be one SNMP capable card in the system, and it must be in the first rack in the system.

The Fiber Optic A/B switch uses the same latching relays to control an optical switch. There are two types of Fiber Optic switches. Latching and Non-latching. The latching version will stay in it's current position (A-C or B-C) even without power and when power is applies it doesn't effect the Fiber connection. With the Non-Latching if power is lost, the optical switch will connect port A to port C. When power is re-applied, the latching relay will cause the optical switch to reconnect the port selected prior to the loss of power.

The OCX version of the Fiber Optic Only comes in Latching versions and works the same way with the exception that it loops back the unused channel.
