QuickSwitch® Model 4184 Fiber Optic SC Duplex 100BASE-FX A/B Switch with Remote Port

Overview

QuickSwitch® 4184 is a fiber optic SC Duplex Interface A/B Switch. It has a multimode duplex fiber connector interface on the A, B, and COMMON ports. The switch connects a workstation or network between two other devices or networks. The internal circuitry insures isolation between the A and B devices / networks. A great solution for fallback network applications. A front panel button changes the switch position eliminating the need to plug and unplug fiber patchcords thus minimizing connector wear. Switch position status is displayed on the front panel LEDs.

The unit also includes an RS232 serial security enhanced Supervisory Remote Port. Upon proper authentication, a terminal or computer in terminal mode connected to this port can communicate with the unit, determine its status, change the switch position as desired, and/or lockout front panel switching capability. A modem can also be connected to this port for remote access to the switch. Access to the Supervisory Remote Port feature is password protected. An optional graphical user interface (GUI) software is also available for use with a computer running Windows operating system.
