Black Box SW1041A A/B Layer 1 Switch, Remote Controlled, Latching, RS-232 Ethernet

Black Box SW1041A CAT6 Remotely Controlled Layer 1 A/B Switch with RS-232 Ethernet

The SW1041A CAT6 Remotely Controlled Layer 1 A/B Switch connects port A or port B to the C (Common) port, through latching relay switch mechanisms. The connection state will be maintained if power fails or is removed. Manual control of the switch port connection state is supported through pushbutton switches on the front of the unit. A 6-position pluggable terminal block connector on the rear of the unit provides remote control capability and accepts external dry contact closures as inputs. This model with Serial control capability includes an RS-232 console port that can be used to control the switch port connection state, as well as monitor switch status using a serial RS-232 terminal type device. It includes an Ethernet network interface that can be used to control the switch port connection state, as well as monitor switch status via a web browser, telnet, or using SNMP. The SW1041A also has intelligent automatic switching capabilities, and it supports sending SNMP traps or syslog messages (user configurable) for various events and errors.
