Dataprobe's K-16 Series switching solution provides reliable switchover of communications circuits for line protection and equipment redundancy applications. Create fault-tolerant systems with either simultaneous (gang) switching or independent control of each A/B switch.

These physical layer switches allow redundant systems to be automatically, remotely or manually operated, insuring maximum uptime for critical communication circuits.

Relay based switch modules insure communications, even when power is removed or control connections are down. This fail soft technology is optimized for applications including:

• Disaster Recovery
• Air Traffic Control
• E911 Safety
• Network Operations
• Computer Telephony
• Data Center
• E911 Safety Data Centers

Network Controlled A/B Switching System. Web control screen shot. Individual control of each A/B Switch with Gang control options. Multiple control options make for a wide variety of configuration possibilities. Network control from your SNMP manager, a web browser or Telnet interface make the system accessible from any network location. Serial port control via modem or direct connection provides out-of-band access when the network is down. Additional options allow contact closure control with positive relay feedback.

Both serial and network interfaces provide communication with user friendly menus or web browser interfaces. Each A/B card in the system can be named for easy identification. Cards can be grouped and switched together or independently. For system developers, the K-16 series offers direct command control, both via the serial port and via UDP network messaging. This allows direct program control by Network Management Systems, customized user interfaces, or easily integrated into OEM systems and software.

In addition to the remote control capabilities, the system can be controlled manually with both system, chassis and individual A/B circuit resolution. A remote switch and status display panel is available to remote the manual switches up to 1000' from the switch assembly.

A/B switch cards are available in standard communication interfaces. Each A/B switch card includes the proper connectors; no additional interface modules are required. A/B switch cards support all the leads in their respective interfaces, making them ideal for a wide variety of circuit arrangements.
