Backup Switches or A/B Switches

Network disasters are often imposible to predict; there is usually very little advance notice when a communication line goes down. Our A/B Fallback Switches provide an effective means for dealing with such unanticipated events, by monitoring activity on primary hardware lines, and then automatically re-routing data signals to a back-up line when undesirable changes in line status are detected.

A/B Fallback switches can be an additional tool to prevent network disasters. They switch computers between different LAN-Ports, modems to different lines, or cables to 2 different leased line modems. A/B Fallback Switches provide an effective means for dealing with such unanticipated events, by monitoring activity on primary hardware lines, and then automatically re-routing data signals to a back-up line when undesirable changes in line status are detected. In addition these switches are the ideal tool to take certain network components out of service for upgrading or replacing them.
