The switch ports of 1 x N optical switches are numbered on the front panel,
while the common port is identified with a "C."
These switches are bidirectional. This means that the optical signal can
either enter through the common port and be directed toward any switch
port, or enter through any switch port and then be directed toward the
common port.
