SWCH A
The Switch A setting identifies the method used to switch from the primary Endpoint A to the
Alternate Endpoint A. The options are manual and w/to (with time-out). If w/to is chosen, a
second setting appears for the user to select the time-out period (in minutes) from 1 to 60.
In the event of a failure of the primary endpoint, a setting of manual allows the user to
manually switch from primary to the alternate endpoint. When the primary endpoint is
restored, the user must manually switch it back again.
In the event of a failure of the primary endpoint, a setting of w/to will automatically switch
the PVC from primary to alternate. When the primary endpoint is restored, the system will
automatically switch it back again after the predetermined time set by the user.
SWCH B
The Switch B setting identifies the method used to switch from the primary Endpoint B to the
Alternate Endpoint B. The options are manual (pressing “b” from the bottom line of the
screen), and w/to (with time-out). If w/to is chosen, a second setting appears for the user to
select the time-out period (in minutes) from 1 to 60.
In the event of a failure of the primary endpoint, a setting of manual allows the user to
manually switch from primary to the alternate endpoint if he chooses. When the primary
endpoint is restored, the user must manually switch it back again.
