The figure below shows a 4-port SGPAT1040-305 configured in Redundant Fiber mode, where only 3 of the 4
ports can be active at a time.

Note: If set to “Revertive” mode and the failure is fixed, data transmission reverts to the Primary link.
If set to “non-Revertive” mode and the failure is fixed, data transmission remains active on the Secondary link.

4-Port Redundant Fiber Mode Example
Note in the figure above: Port 3 is the Primary path and Port 4 is the Secondary path in terms of the fiber and
data path lines shown.
Port Isolation: the SGPAT1040-305 supports Port Isolation. Port Isolation mode works differently on the
SGPAT1040-205 than on the SGPAT1040-305 in terms of data flow ports/directions. Note the following:
If Dual Converter mode is Enabled, Redundant mode is Unavailable.
If Redundant mode is Enabled, Dual Converter mode is Unavailable.
On the 3-port SGPAT1040-205 and the 4-port SGPAT1040-305, Port Isolation is a subset of Redundant
mode.
On the 3-port SGPAT1040-205, Port Isolation only takes affect when Redundant mode is Disabled.
On the 4-port SGPAT1040-305 Port Isolation only takes affect when Redundant mode is Enabled.
On the 4-port SGPAT1040-305, Port Isolation is a sub-function of Redundant mode, and Redundant mode
passes data between these ports:
Dual Converter = Disabled
Redundant = Enabled
Port Isolation = Disabled
Dual Converter = Disabled
Redundant = Enabled
Port Isolation = Enabled
