2. Introduction
The CAT6 Remotely Controlled Layer 1 A/B Switch, Latching (SW1040A) or CAT6 Remotely Controlled Layer 1 A/B Switch,
Latching, Ethernet, RS-232 (SW1041A) connects port A or port B to the C (Common) port, through latching relay switch
mechanisms. The connection state will be maintained if power fails or is removed.
Manual control of the switch port connection state is supported through pushbutton switches on the front of the unit.
A 6-position pluggable terminal block connector on the rear of the unit provides remote control capability and accepts external
dry contact closures as inputs. See Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 for additional details.
Models with Serial control capability (SW1041A) include an RS-232 console port that can be used to control the switch port con-
nection state, as well as monitor switch status using a serial RS-232 terminal type device. See Section 5.3 and Section 7 for addi-
tional details.
Models with Ethernet control (SW1041A) include an Ethernet network interface that can be used to control the switch port
connection state, as well as monitor switch status via a web browser, telnet, or using SNMP. These models also have intelligent
automatic switching capabilities, and they support sending SNMP traps or syslog messages (user configurable) for various events
and errors. See sections 5.4, 5.5, 7, 10, and 11 for additional details.
