Power Loss Bypass
The Optical Bypass Switch protects link integrity when the in-line appliance
loses power . When the Bypass Switch is receiving power it is in Bypass Dis-
abled (OFF) mode. In Bypass Disabled mode the switch sends network traffic
through the connnected device .
When power to switch fails, it enters Bypass Enabled (ON) mode and network
traffic bypasses the connected device until power to the switch is restored.
