PathWay® Model 4209 DB25 Automatic Fallback Switch with Telnet Remote

Overview

The PathWay® Model 4209 DB25 A/B Automatic Fallback Switch with Telnet Remote 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 Model 4209 is packaged in a slim desktop style enclosure.

The switch may be controlled manually via front panel pushbutton, or Remote Control. Remote access can be accomplished using an Ethernet 10/100Base-T connection and Telnet commands.  The front panel LED display indicates the switch position, and power status.

The unit monitors data activity on port "B". If the unit is in the A position and data activity is present on port B, the unit automatically switches to the B position. The unit will then remain in the B position until signal is not present, in which the unit will switch back to the A position automatically.
