INTRODUCTION
The PathWay® Model 7150 16-Channel RJ45 RS-232 A/B Switch with
Automatic Fallback, GUI and Cascade Group Operation allows the user
the capability of sharing a single port RJ45 interface device, connected
to the “COMMON” port, among two other devices, connected to the “A”
and “B” ports, for each channel. The Model 7150 is enclosed in a 2U,
full rack size, all metal black chassis designed to provide EMI/RFI
shielding and fit in a standard 19” rack.
The unit can be operated by either the front panel pushbuttons or the
10/100Base-T LAN Ethernet Remote. The unit also supports cascade
operation, where other supported units can be connected and operated
through a single remote port interface. The state of the unit can be
obtained from the front panel LED’s or through the Remote Graphical
User Interface.
