Figure 131 Optical Switch module, 8164A/B User Interface Details
Screen Elements
All the figures in this chapter are taken from an 8164A/B mainframe. The
user interface for an 8163A, 8163B, 8166A or 8163B mainframe may differ
in detail but the available functionality is identical.
Configuration
The Optical Switch configuration is indicated at the top left of the user
interface.
In Figure 131 , 2x2 indicates that this is an Agilent 81594B 2x2 non-
blocking (crossover) switch.
Route
The [Route A <->] field describes the route between port A and another
numbered port within the Optical Switch module.
If present, the [Route B <->] field describes the route between port B and
another numbered port within the Optical Switch module.
In Figure 131 :
•The [Route A <->] field shows that, within the Optical Switch module, port A is
connected to port 1.
•The [Route B <->] field shows that, within the Optical Switch module, port B is
connected to port 2.
