INTRODUCTION TO THE DATA SWITCH
(DS) SERIES
BayTech’s DS-Series Data Switch provides a single dialup or EIA-232
gateway to multiple EIA-232 devices. Used for accessing remote
equipment or simply switching between multiple ports, the DS-Series Data
Switch provides a full duplex connection between the host and up to 32
peripherals. In a typical application, the host module connects to a local
or remote computer, and the peripheral port modules connect to devices
such as routers, hubs, servers, and Data Service Units (DSU’s). The
DS-Series Data Switch is also compatible with other BayTech products
including the Remote Power Control (RPC) unit.
The DS-Series Data Switch is available in three chassis sizes. The DS3,
DS6, and DS9 have 3, 6, and 9 expansion slots respectively, providing a
maximum of 8, 20, or 32 device connections.
Table 1 provides a brief description of user programmable features
