The fiber optic network access control switch is a non-latching full-duplex optical switch. It is used to control network access via front panel slide switch or remotely using dry contact closures. The dry contact closure remote interface can be connected directly to SecureSwitch revision B switches to automatically disconnect the unselected network. The switch operates with a unique switching mechanism. When you connect (short) Pin 1 to Pin 2 on the terminal strip located on the back of the unit, the internal optical mirror mechanism will provide a connection path between port A and port B. The front panel LED will illuminate to indicate that the connection path is active. And since this is a non-latching switch, if power is lost or the Pin 1 to 2 connection on the terminal strip is removed, the Fiber Optic Network Access Control Switch will revert to the inactive connection state (no optical path between port A and port B). There is a slide switch on the front panel, which operates in parallel with the terminal contact. This switch allows local control of the Fiber Optic Network Access Control Switch.
