2.3Redundancy and Physical Security

With up to 5,000 simultaneous users accessing critical information, network managers can rest assured that the Contivity Extranet Switch is designed for high availability. Auto switching redundant power supplies and a redundant storage system protect against failure. Multilevel authentication methods and automatic backup of all system and accounting data ensure maximum reliability and management peace of mind. The Switch meets FCC requirements in 47 CFR Part 15 for personal computers and peripherals designated for business use (ClassA), and is labeled in accordance with FCC requirements.

The Contivity™ Extranet Switch 4500 is entirely encased by a thick steel chassis. The system has three removable portions: the front bezel, the top cover, and the I/O Panel. Removing the
