1.5.2 FNER Switching Module
The FNER Switching Module is a 16x1 unit that utilizes solid state switching elements to provide seamless switching speeds
(nanoseconds). Up to eight switching modules may be combined in a single FNER system. The total number of switching
modules required for a system is equal to the total number of system inputs divided by 16. Every switching module is
equipped with two inter-module serial ports (“CONTROL-IN” and “CONTROL-OUT”) that are used for communication with
other FNER modules.
