Ensure dependability of your critical applications with the Redundancy Switching System (RSS). A customizable physical layer switching system, the RSS provides you with reliable switchover of communications circuits for line protections and equipment redundancy applications.

The RSS is the optimal solution for disaster recovery, air traffic control, network operations, computer telephony, data centers, E911 safety and trunking redundancy.

RELIABLE NETWORK SWITCHING

Dataprobe relay-based switches are designed for fail-soft operation, so they always maintain connectivity. With the RSS, you can rely on communications even when power is removed or control connections are down.

Failover to redundant lines or equipment can be performed manually, automatically or remotely via a web browser, so you can ensure maximum uptime of your critical communication circuits.

SWITCHING OPTIONS FOR EVERY USER

With the RSS, you can create fault-tolerant systems with simultaneous (gang) switching or independent control of each A/B switch. A/B switch cards are available in standard communication interfaces, and support all the leads in their respective interfaces, making them ideal for a wide variety of circuit arrangements. Scalable 1U and 4U rackmount systems provide an unlimited number of switching possibilities.

CONTROL OPTIONS

We offer a variety of control options to facilitate design of reliable redundancy solutions. Each control card can be installed in either the RSS-16 or RSS-3 to provide either individual or gang control.

IPC-16 Simple Web Interface

The IPC-16 allows control resolution down to the A/B switch level. Each A/B switch can be individually managed, or gang switched as required.

Both serial and network interfaces provide communication with user-friendly menus or web browser interfaces. Each A/B card in the system can be named for easy identification. Cards can be grouped and switched together or independently. For system developers, the RSS series offers direct command control, both via the serial port and via UDP network messaging. This allows direct program control by Network Management Systems, customized user interfaces, or easily integrated into OEM systems and software. RSS-16 Chassis offers Dual Redundant IPC-16 controllers for the most reliable configuration.

For gang applications in either the RSS-3 or RSS-16 chassis, the IPC-1 provides web control, setup and management. Point your browser to the IP address assigned to the switch, enter a security code and click on the button to operate the switch. Fallback switching for your critical communication circuits is just a click away with these web enabled A/B Switches.

Switch one Common circuit to either circuits A or B from anywhere in the world. Just point your browser to the IP address of the switch, enter a username and password and click on either A or B button to reroute traffic. These switches can also be operated automatically, by pinging a device and switching automatically when the ping fails, or from an SNMP Manager Direct TCP messages.

The IOC-16-R provides wiring access for external contact control and switch card status monitoring. It can be installed along with a IPC-16-R Network Control access card or with a IOC-16-R gang access card. The IOC-16-R uses 50 Pin Amphenol (Telco) connectors to provide access to the control inputs and status outputs

Model IOC-3-R provides three contact closure inputs and status relay outputs for RSS-3 and RSS-16 systems for single switch or multi-switch ganged (simultaneous controlled) system. Up to three A/B switch cards can be independently controlled.

The IOC-3-R installs in the control slot of the RSS-3 or RSS-16 chassis to provide remote relay control of an unlimited number of ganged switch cards. In multi-chassis ganged systems, this controller accepts control inputs from IPC-1-R, IPC-3-R IPC-16-R or any external contact closure.
