Black Box SM263A Gang Switch Controller Card, RS232

Black Box SM263A Gang Switch Controller Card, 2U, RS232

The advanced design of the Pro Switching System, 2U (SM260A) gives incredible operational flexibility and performance. Switch one card individually or switch the entire chassis through a Controller Card. You'll need one Controller Card per rack chassis. If you plan to daisy-chain multiple chassis, the Controller Card in the first chassis controls the entire system. This SM263A card enables you to gang switch via the manual toggle switch or with serial commands.

There is also an RS-232 or IP connection card (SM262A) that enables you to switch the chassis from anywhere via an RS-232 or IP connection. If you want to extend RS-232/IP control to a second daisy-chained Pro Switching System chassis, order the SNMP Expansion Controller Card (SM264A). This enables you to send hardware control signals and control the daisy-chained system with RS-232 messages through the RS-232/Ethernet (SNMP) Controller Card (SM262A).
