This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy, and

if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication.

It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A

computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart B of Part

15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection

against such interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial

environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to

cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense will be

required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the

interference.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Introduction

The non-latching Fiber Optic A/OFF/B Switch is a full-

duplex, optical 2 port switch. It can be used to connect one

workstation to two different networks (one at a time) or to

other remote devices. A front panel rotary style knob

allows the user to select which of two ports (A or B) is

connected to the “COMMON” (C) port on the switch.

This rack mount switch also includes an OFF position that

inhibits the connection of the C port to either the A or B

port. The switch operates using a unique all-optical micro-

mirror movement. When you turn the rotary knob on the

front of the switch to select a network, the internal micro-

mirror movement redirects the optical beam from one

network port to the other network port by rotating a

miniature mirror. This technique eliminates the need to

convert optical signals to electronic signals to for

switching and it is therefore transparent to data rates and

protocols.

The loss or removal of power will force the switch to “fall

back” to the OFF position for security purposes.

Installation

Place the switch in a convenient stable location and

connect the power supply unit to a reliable source of AC

power that meets the requirements shown in the

Specifications section of this manual.

This switch is ideal for use in fall-back applications

where no connection is desirable in the event of a power

failure. Connect the two fiber leads from the device to be

shared to the common switch port labeled C. Connect the

B port to the network or device to which you want to be

connected when B is selected. Connect the remaining

network or device to the A port of the switch.

Your installation of this switch is now complete.

Troubleshooting

If the Fiber Optic A/OFF/B Switch fails to operate, check

the following before calling for technical support.

1. Ensure that the power supply connected to a power

source and to the switch.

2. Check the fiber optic connectors for proper

connections to the correct ports of the switch.

3. Operate the switch knob to verify that it’s tightly

secured to the switch shaft and does not spin loosely.

4. Verify the integrity of the fiber optic leads by

replacing a suspect lead with a spare.
