Rooming — The switcher can be programmed to group multiple outputs to specific “rooms”, allowing them to have their own presets.

Operational reliability — The Fiber Matrix 6400 can support round-the-clock operation in mission-critical applications, using a combination of hot-swappable components and redundant power supplies.

•Field upgradable, hot-swappable modular design — The architecture of the Fiber Matrix 6400 allows you to repair, upgrade, reconfigure, or expand the matrix by simply installing a new I/O board or replacing a board of one type with one of another. Hot-swappable components let you replace any I/O board at any time — without powering down the switcher.

•Primary and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies — The hot- swappable, externally mounted redundant power supply is configured to automatically take over the load from the primary supply in the case of a failure.

The complete power circuit, from the plug, through the power supply, to the power’s insertion onto the power distribution plane, is separate and redundant (figure 1-2). If the installation includes uninterruptible or completely separate power sources, the switcher will remain powered up through any power interruption short of a simultaneous loss of power on both power sources.

The hot-swappable redundant power supply means zero downtime for the switcher and no loss of functionality should one power supply fail. Should a primary power supply fail, the redundant power supply immediately assumes the load of the failed primary supply. A failed power supply is easily replaceable from the rear at any time—without powering down the matrix, and with no tools required.

Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection and setting of presets can be performed on the front panel or via the Ethernet or either serial port link. The serial ports allow remote control via a PC or a control system.

The Ethernet link allows multiple remote links with two levels of password protection.
