Black Box SM262A Gang Switch Controller Card, 2U, Ethernet (SNMP)/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 SM262A card enables you to switch the chassis from anywhere via an RS-232 or IP connection.
There is also an RS-232 Only Controller Card (SM263A), which enables you to gang switch via the manual toggle switch or with serial commands. Or 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 this RS-232/Ethernet (SNMP) Controller Card.
