Overview
The PathWay® Model 7149 16-Channel RJ45 Cat6 A/B Simultaneous Channel Control, Cascade Functionality, and Ethernet Remote Port allows the user the capability of sharing a single port RJ45 interface device, connected to the “COMMON” port, among two other devices, connected to the “A” and “B” ports, for each channel. The Model 7149 is enclosed in a 2U, full rack size, all metal black chassis designed to provide EMI/RFI shielding and fit in a standard 19” rack.
The unit can be operated by either the front panel pushbuttons or the 10/100Base-T LAN Ethernet Remote.
The unit also supports gang operation, where multiple units can be connected and operated together in a synchronized fashion. The state of the unit can be obtained from the front panel LED’s or through the Remote Telnet Commands.

CHANGING POSITION AND LOCK STATUS
To change the switch position of a channel, click on the radio button “A” or ”B” as desired for all channels via gang controls. Locking and unlocking the front panel pushbuttons can be done by clicking on the “Locked” or “Unlocked” radio buttons for all channels. Gang Controls can be used to change the position or state of all channels simultaneously. When all channels are in the same position or state, that position or state will be selected by the Gang Controls. See Figure 2
