CAT5e A/B APPLICATION: AUTO FALLBACK SWITCHING.
Auto-switch to backup channel B when data is lost on primary channel.
The Model 7339 switch monitors data activity on Ports A and B.

 FEATURES:

• Automatic switch to secondary line when no data is detected on primary line.
• All pins of the RJ45 interface are switched.
• Interface meets Cat5e performance.
• All switched signals are passed via latching copper contact relays that
  maintain their position and continuity even in the event of a power loss.
• Control of the switch position from a 10/100-Base-T LAN Ethernet
  environment.
• Remote Control Telnet command interface or Graphical User Interface
  that allow the user to control switch position,  configure Automatic Fallback Mode, lockout front panel operations and obtain switch status.
• Remote Control actions logged by sending time stamped events to a remote SysLog server. User enters internet address of a SysLog and an NTP server to assign time stamp events.
• Enhanced password security imposing a 13-character mimimum length password forcing at least a (1) numeric character and (1) special character.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) V2.
• Front panel LEDs display switch position, the switch mode (Automatic
  Fallback or Manual) and power status.

 The PathWay® Model 7339  CAT5E 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 A/B Automatic Fallback Switch with 10/100 Base-T LAN Telnet Access and GUI, allows the user the capability of sharing a single port interface device connected to the "COMMON" port among two other devices connected to the "A" and "B" ports with remote access functionality. Remote Control access can be accomplished using an Ethernet 10/100-Base-T connection and either Telnet commands or Graphical User Interface (GUI).   The Model 7339 is enclosed in a 1U, full rack size, all metal black chassis designed to provide EMI/RFI shielding and fit in a standard 19" rack.

When in Automatic Fallback Mode the unit monitors data activity on ports A and B.  If activity is lost on port A, the unit checks for data on Port B and in the presence of data, switches to position B.  The Model 7339 data switch will maintain its connection to port B until data activity is detected on port A, at which time the unit will automatically return to the A position.  If no data is present on either port A or on port B, the unit will stay in the A position and continue to monitor for data.  The user can override Automatic Fallback Operation from the front panel or GUI interface and force the unit to operate as an A/B switch.
 
The switch can be controlled remotely via the RJ45 remote port and accepts 10/100 Base-T Lan Ethernet. The switch can also be controlled using a simple point-n-click software.

SOFTWARE FEATURES:

• Access User Interface via standard web browser.
• Easy to use, simple point and click operation.
• Remotely access to control or monitor the Model 7339 RJ45 A/B Auto Fallback Switch System. 
• Users can change the switch's IP address.
• LAN access gives users across the LAN or over the internet access to control if the user Network is configured accordingly. 

 UTILIZING THE USER FRIENDLY REMOTE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE SOFTWARE

To connect to the switch from a workstation or computer having access to the LAN that the Model 7339 LAN port is connected to, simply launch a standard web browser and type in the appropriate IP address.  The Java Applet will be automatically uploaded from the switch upon connection.  The environment requirement for the GUI is Java 1.7 and above.

LOGGING INTO REMOTE CONTROL GUI

There is no authentication enabled by default. Enable authentication by clicking the "Enable Authentication" button. From the pop-up "Please enter a new admin password and then click "Enable" Button. See Figure 1.

Figure 1: Enable Authentication.

When authentication is enabled, the GUI will prompt for the username and password to be entered before any operation can be done. See Figure 2. 

 Figure 2: Enabled Log In prompting username and password.

CHANGING POSITION AND LOCK STATUS

To change position, click the radio button for "A" or "B" as desired. Locking and unlocking the front panel pushbutton can be done by clicking on the "Locked" radio buttons, respectively. See Figure 3. 

CHANGING THE MODE OF THE SWITCH

To change the mode of the switch, click the radio button for "Fallback" or "Manual". While  in Automatic Fallback Mode, the unit changes position based on the data. In Manual Mode, the front panel pushbutton adn A/B GUI buttons are operational.  See Figure 3.
