Electro Standards Laboratories' QuickSwitch® 6284 enables a device connected to the COMMON port to access either two separate Fiber Optic networks via duplex ports. This cutting-edge switch utilizes MEMS-based (Micro Electro Mechanical System) multimode switches. The switch position of the QuickSwitch® 6284 can be controlled manually via a front panel pushbutton or remotely using the RS-232 serial port located on the rear of the unit. Once connected to the remote port, the computer can use any common terminal emulation software to manipulate the controls and monitor the switch position.
