16-Channel A/B Fallback Switch Base Unit, Dual Power Supply & Control Card (
RJ45 Channel Cards Sold Separately)
Data lines are the life blood of your network, any halt or slowdown could prove fatal. Fail-safe data transmissions are required for those who want to keep critical systems healthy and alive 24/7/365.
The AFS-16-1 helps you switch data between A or B lines when network events are detected. Fully loaded with SNMP, remote access, security & authentication features, event monitoring & notification alarms the AFS quickly, remotely & securely prevents data line disasters from occurring.
- SNMP/Ping-No-Answer/Alarm Based Routing of Data Lines
- Alarm/Switching Notification via SNMP, SYSLOG, Email or Text Message
- Switch Up to 16 Data Lines, Manually or Automatically
The AFS-16-1 provides a perfect solution for fallback/failover switching of T1, E1, RS232, RS422/485 and telephone lines. When a target device fails to respond to a ping command or a user-defined alarm is triggered, the AFS-16-1 can automatically reroute RJ45 data or ethernet lines to minimize downtime and maintain network communication. When the situation that triggered the fallback/failover is cleared, the AFS-16-1 can reroute A/B lines back to their original configuration. An SNMP trap, SYSLOG message, email or text message can also be sent to notify you when A/B switching occurs or when a user defined alarm is triggered.
The modular design of the AFS-16-1 allows the unit to grow to fit the requirements of your failover switching application. When you need fallback switching capabilities for more data or ethernet lines, additional RJ45 A/B Circuit Modules can be easily snapped into place in the AFS-16’s rack frame; each AFS-16-1 unit will accept up to sixteen RJ45 A/B Circuit Modules.
