CAT 5e 8-CHANNEL RJ45 APPLICATION w/TELNET & GUI:
The drawing illustrates eight channels of Cat5e A/B/OFFLINE switching. Each channel has a COMMON device connected to the RJ45 COMMON port with access to two other interface devices connected to the RJ45 A and B ports respectively. The OFFLINE position stops any and all data throughput the unit. An RJ45 IP addressable REMOTE port is 10/100Base-T LAN Connection that accepts TELNET commands or a Graphical User Interface to remotely operate the Model 7469.

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 7469 LAN port is connected to simply launch a standard web browser and type in the appropriate IP address.

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.
