The same switch can be used for simplex or duplex routing. The switch is set to be a simplex or duplex switch.
Duplex switching is required to support HDMI with HDCP, EDID management, and duplex RS-232 support.

cannot
support
the following:
(a) EDID management,
(b) the ability to obtain return data back from the displays, or

There is a slot-number identification label affixed to the rear of the chassis (part of the fan-tray assembly) to
assist in identifying slot locations.
Not all slots must contain I/O cards. However, to maintain proper airflow and
cooling within the chassis, any empty slots MUST be covered by a slot filler-plate.
Additional I/O cards and SFPs can be ordered by contacting Magenta-Research.
