Remote A/B Fallback Switches

Network disasters are often imposible to predict; there is usually very little advance notice when a communication line goes down. Our A/B Fallback Switches provide an effective means for dealing with such unanticipated events, by monitoring activity on primary hardware lines, and then automatically re-routing data signals to a back-up line when undesirable changes in line status are detected.

PLS-345 Network Ready Physical Layer Switch The PLS-345 is designed for applications that require automatic routing of Cat5 10/100Base-T signals between a common jack and an "A" and "B" jack. The PLS is also ideal for switching RS-232, DSL, RS-422/485 or telephone lines. This versatile A/B switching system can be controlled over any TCP/IP network, or out-of-band using an external modem and basic VT100 type terminal emulation. More Information

AFS-16 Automatic UTP Fallback Switch for Digital or Analog Data Lines The AFS-16 is a versatile, physical-layer, A/B fallback switch, which monitors activity on primary hardware lines. If line status changes, the AFS quickly responds, and re-routes data signals to a backup line. The AFS-16 is ideal for switching Ethernet 10Base-T, RS232, RS422/485, or analog lines. More Information
