Extron Electronics DMS 1600_2000_3200_3600 User Guide - Manual (Page 10)

DMS 1600, DMS 2000, DMS 3200, and DMS 3600 • Introduction 4
E-mail notification — The DMS matrix switchers have a built-in SMTP client feature
that send out e-mail notifications through an SMTP server. The e-mail notification function
monitors a selected input. If the input loses or regains the sync signal, the switcher sends
out an e-mail regarding the loss or restoration of the input signal to the e-mail recipients. The
matrix switcher can send e-mails to up to 8 e-mail recipients.
Rooming — The switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to specific
“rooms” (user-designated groups), allowing them to have their own presets.
Field upgradable, hot-swappable modular design — The architecture of the DMS
matrix switcher allows you to repair, upgrade, reconfigure, or expand the matrix by simply
installing a new I/O board or replacing a board of one type with one of another.
Hot-swappable components let you replace any I/O board at any time without powering
down the switcher.
DMS 1600 and DMS 3600 power redundancy — The DMS 1600 and DMS 3600
have standard and optional power redundancy features. This redundancy, standard for
the DMS 3600 and optional for the DMS 1600, ensures zero downtime and no loss of
functionality through all but catastrophic power failure to support round-the-clock operation
in mission-critical applications.
• Two AC power inputs — Two inputs ensure the switcher operates through any power
interruption short of a simultaneous loss of power from both power sources.
• Two power input circuits — The two complete power circuits, from the plug, through
the power supply, to the power insertion onto the power distribution plane, are separate
and independent from each other (see figure 2).

• Two hot-swappable power supplies (standard for the DMS 3600 and optional
for the DMS 1600) — The 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supplies of the
matrix switchers provide worldwide power compatibility.
• Primary and redundant circuits — The power supply circuitry is configured to
automatically switch over. Should the primary power supply fail, the hot redundant
power supply immediately assumes the load of the failed primary supply, meaning zero
downtime and no loss of functionality.
• Ease of maintenance — A failed power supply can be easily replaced from the rear at
any time without powering down the matrix, and with no tools required.
• Power supply status LEDs — Front panel and rear panel LEDs indicate the status of
the primary and redundant power supplies.
