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 trafc 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 trafc
The Optical Bypass Switch supports fail-open monitoring with any ber IDP
device when it shares the same power source as the IDP. While the Optical
Bypass Switch is receiving power, it diverts network trafc to attached IDP. In
this state, all in-line trafc is routed directly to the IDP connected to the Opti-
cal Bypass Switch.
When the Optical Bypass Switch loses power, in-line trafc continues to ow
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 trafc 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.
