Path Way® Model 4121 Automatic Fallback and Recovery A/B Switch with Remote Management Port

This Smart Switch provides a "Fallback" data path "B" based on loss of Data Activity on Port "A", and a "Recovery" to "A" when Data Activity returns!

The PathWay® Model 4121 Automatic Fallback Data Network Switch with Remote Management Port allows the user the capability of sharing a single DB25 interface device connected to the Common port among two other devices connected to the A and B ports.

The unit monitors data activity on port A. If activity is lost, the unit automatically switches to port B. The Model 4121 will maintain its connection to port B while data activity is not present on port A. At any point, if data activity is detected on port A, the unit will automatically return to the A position.

The user can override automatic fallback operation from the front panel and force the unit to operate as an A/B switch. The user can monitor as well as control the unit remotely through the Remote DB9 port by way of RS232 commands.

Model 4121 A/B Switch Features:
Allows access to two networks from one COMMON network device.
Local control via front-panel pushbutton.
The REMOTE port accepts RS232 Serial Data ASCII commands for switch position control and monitoring.
Automatic Fallback and Recovery Mode operates based on data monitoring on signal pins 2 and 3 of port A.
Switches pins 1-8, 11, 14-21, and 24 of the DB25 interface.
