Abstract: Backup switches allow the users the capability of sharing devices or networks connected to the COMMON port/s among devices/networks connected to the (A, B, C, etc.) lettered or (1, 2, 3, etc.) numbered ports. The number of switch positions required will be related to how many devices or networks to which you want to send your data. This paper will evaluate the elements required to design an A/B network backup switch.
Products & Services
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems (SCADA)
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are large-scale, industrial control and measurement systems that consist of a central host, one or more remote units, a communications network, and specialized software.
Network Equipment
Network equipment is used to split, switch, boost, or direct packets of information along a network. This product area includes network hubs, switches, routers, bridges, gateways, multiplexers, transceivers and firewalls. In addition to device type, network equipment is defined by protocol (e.g., Ethernet).
Network Repeaters
Networking repeaters regenerate incoming electrical, wireless, or optical signals to preserve signal integrity and extend the distance over which data can travel. They are often used to connect cable segments in IEEE 802.3 networks.
Serial Communications Products
Serial communication products are used in industrial and commercial systems to transmit data bit-by-bit, or sequentially, over a single wire. They include serial servers, serial hubs, serial adapters, serial data converters, serial routers, and serial multiplexers.
Network Media Converters
Network media converters change the signal of encoded data from one media type to another as it is transmitted through, or between, networks.
