Figure 3-4 Ring with Bypass Switches
The Fiber Optic Bypass Switch automatically mends a broken ring by offering an
alternative route for the fiber-optic message to travel. If nodes #2 and #5 in Figure 3-4
were to lose power or chose not to be included in the ring, then those two nodes would be
bypassed.
3.6.2 Quad Switch
The SCRAMNet Quad Switch is designed to provide configuration control over the
network topology and computing resources. The Quad Switch allows local clusters of up
to four SCRAMNet nodes to be switched in or out of a primary SCRAMNet ring,
independently and dynamically (Figure 3-5). It also allows sharing of a critical real-time
resource between multiple systems.
The Quad Switch performs other useful functions such as optical bypassing, fiber-optic
repeating to gain transmission length beyond the SCRAMNet node’s transmission power
limit, and to act as a media converter.
