The SM-2800 Series of Universal Ethernet Bypass Switches provide automatic bypass capability up to twelve 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseT or up to six 1000BaseSX inline Ethernet appliances. The system is based on Shore Microsystems’ technologies developed to sustain vital connections to/from in-line appliances and integrates into Shore’s Network Protection Chassis System. The system operates independently from the inline appliance and does not require periodic interaction with a properly functioning network appliance. In the event of a failure, the unit removes the malfunctioning device from the Ethernet link and re-connects the two external Ethernet ports to transparently reestablish end-to-end communications. The system is available in several configurations with regard to media and port count requirements.
