Installation Guide for 10/100/1000 Bypass Switch
Introduction
Net.Optics.GigaBit.Bypass.Switches.provide.a.permanent.and.trouble-free.
access.port.for.in-line.network.security.and.monitoring.devices ..The.GigaBit.
Bypass Switch automatically switches network traffic through added in-line
devices.or.bypasses.devices.that.are.about.to.be.removed ..Prevent.link.failure.
when.attached.IPS.and.IDS.devices.lose.power.by.powering.the.Bypass.
Switch.and.in-line.device.from.the.same.power.source ..
Uninterrupted Traffic
The.GigaBit.Bypass.Switch.supports.fail-open.monitoring.with.any.
10/100/1000.GigaBit.in-line.device.when.it.shares.the.same.power.source.as.
the.in-line.appliance ..While.the.GigaBit.Bypass.Switch.is.receiving.power,.it.
diverts network traffic to attached in-line devices. In this state, all in-line traf-
fic is routed directly to the device connected to the GigaBit Bypass Switch.
When the GigaBit Bypass Switch loses power, in-line traffic continues to
flow through the network link, but is no longer routed through the device.
This.allows.the.network.devices.to.be.removed.and.replaced.without.network.
downtime ..Once.power.is.restored.to.the.GigaBit.Bypass.Switch,.network.
traffic is seamlessly diverted to the in-line device, 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.IPS ..Three.quick.steps.is.all.it.takes.to..establish.a.secure.
connection.point.for.inline.devices .
