Optical Bypass Switch
Introduction
Net.Optics.Optical.Bypass.Switches.provide.a.permanent.and.trouble-free.
access.port.for.in-line.network.security.and.monitoring.devices ..The.Opti-
cal Bypass Switch automatically switches network traffic through added IDP
devices.or.bypasses.devices.that.are.about.to.be.removed ..Prevent.link.failure.
when.attached.IDP.devices.lose.power.by.powering.the.Bypass.Switch.and.
in-line.device.from.the.same.power.source ..
Uninterrupted traffic
The Optical Bypass Switch supports fail-open monitoring with any fiber IDP
device.when.it.shares.the.same.power.source.as.the.IDP ..While.the.Optical.
Bypass Switch is receiving power, it diverts network traffic to attached IDP. In
this state, all in-line traffic is routed directly to the IDP connected to the Opti-
cal.Bypass.Switch ..
When the Optical Bypass Switch loses power, in-line traffic continues to flow
through.the.network.link,.but.is.no.longer.routed.through.the.device ..This.al-
lows.the.network.devices.to.be.removed.and.replaced.without.network.down-
time. Once power is restored to the Optical Bypass Switch, network traffic is
seamlessly.diverted.to.the.IDP,.allowing.it.to.resume.its.critical.functions .
Simply Plug It In
Each.Bypass.Switch.includes.all.the.cables.and.power.supplies.you.need.to.
quickly.connect.to.an.IDP ..Three.quick.steps.is.all.it.takes.to..establish.a.secure.
connection.point.for.inline.devices .
