How to Use an Optical Switch module Switching Optical Routes
Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B, and 8166A/B User’s Guide, Fourth Edition 209
How to set Route B
To switch the route between port B and another numbered port:
1 Use the Cursor key to highlight [Route B <->], then press Enter.
2 Use the Cursor key to enter the number of the port required.
If the Switch module incorporates independent routing, you cannot
select a numbered port assigned to port A.
3 Press [OK].
If the switch module has dependent routing, [Route A <->] is
updated automatically.
The [Edit] softkey is functionally equivalent to the Enter hardkey.
The [Menu] softkey allows you to assign a route for port A and port B
in turn.
How to Toggle the Switch path
You can use [Toggle] softkey, or the Toggle button located on the
Optical Switch module front panel, to select each of the available
routes for a channel in turn.
NOTE The route selected between port A and another numbered port is
indicated in the user interface and by two lit green LEDs on the front
panel of the Optical Switch module.
The route selected between port B, if present, and another numbered
port is indicated in the user interface, and by two lit amber LEDs on
the front panel of the Optical Switch module.
