PathWay® Model 7411 BNC Coaxial 3-to-1 Switch w/ RS232 Serial REMOTE:

The drawing illustrates a COMMON device connected to the BNC COMMON port with access to three BNC interface devices connected to the BNC ports A, B, and C. The COMMON Device connects between any one of the three devices (Devices, A, B, and C), one device at a time via pushbutton or Remote Commands. The RJ45 Remote Port can be used to control the switch remotely via ASCII RS232 Serial data commands or the Graphical User Interface.

FEATURES:

• Switch locally via (9) front panel pushbuttons (3 per channel) or remotely via the Ethernet remote control port.
• Remote Control SSH Command Interface or Graphical User Interface allows the user to control switch position, lockout front panel operations, obtain switch status as well as query firmware version number and enable/disable autosend of switch positions.
• The switch ports are transparent to all data.
• Center pin and shell of the BNC connector are switched. The BNC connectors are isolated from the chassis.
• Control of the switch position from a 10/100Base-T LAN Ethernet environment.
• All BNC ports are impedance matched to support 50 ohm equipment.
• Front panel LED's display switch position and power status.
• Switch maintains position and continues to pass data during power loss. Switch powers up in last known position.
• Ground Stud on real panel.
• Custom length BNC cables available for you switch application.
• One year parts labor warranty against manufacturer defects.

With each of its three channels, the PathWay Model 7411 BNC A/B/C Switch allows the user to access three BNC devices connected to its A, B, and C ports with one BNC device connected to its COMMON port. The three channels are switched independently via (9) front panel Pushbuttons. Remote control access can be accomplished using an Ethernet 10/100Base-T connection and either SSH commands or a secure Graphical User Interface. The PathWay® Model 7411 is enclosed in a 1U, full rack size, all metal chassis designed to provide EMI/RFI shielding and fit in a standard 19" rack.

This switch may be controlled manually via the front panel pushbuttons, the secure Graphical User Interface, or remotely from an RS232 serial port located on the rear of the unit.

Network Switch position states may be attained via the front panel LED display or the Remote RS232 serial port.

OPTION: WIDE RANGE POWER MODULE

(Cat No 517277) CE, RoHS, and UL listed table mount power module, 100 VAC-240 VAC, 50Hz-60Hz for use in place of standard power module that is included with the unit. Has IEC 60320 C14 inlet.  Ideal for international applications.

UTILIZING THE USER FRIENDLY REMOTE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE SOFTWARE

To connect to the switch from a workstation or computer having access to the LAN that the Model 7411 LAN port is connected to simply launch a standard web browser and type in the appropriate IP address.

CHANGING POSITION AND LOCK STATUS

To change the switch position of a channel, click on the radio button A, B, or C as desired for each channel.  Locking and unlocking the front panel pushbuttons can be done by clicking on the "Locked" or "Unlocked" radio buttons for each channel. See Figure 2

Figure 2: Change the position and lockout from the GUI 

USING GANG CONTROLS

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.  If one of the channels is in a different position or state, that respective Gang Control will not have either option selected. See Figure 3.
