Page 3: Installation
Installation OS414 is a Linux based 20 port (4 1x4 duplex) optical switch used in patch panel automation applications. It provides a serial (RS232) and an Ethernet (10/100) port connectivity for management. Serial port is normally used in special situations such as to debug network connectivity if OS414 is not reachable through Ethernet. - Page 4 Configuring Configuring Configuring Configuring Dynamic Dynamic Dynamic Dynamic IP IP IP IP If you have a DHCP server running on your network and you want to dynamically assign an available IP address to OS414 then use following option. # osctl osctl - - - - D D D D osctl osctl...

Page 5: Operation
Operation OS414’s front panel has 4 port blocks each with 5 LC duplex connectors numbered left to right and top to bottom from 1 to 4. Each port block is an individual duplex 1x4 optical switch, consists of 1 input port labeled as “IN” and 4 output ports Even though we refer ports as input and labeled as “O1”, “O2”, “O3”... - Page 6 The switching of light from input port to any of the four output ports can be achieved using a command line interface. To simply the operation, all functions are provided in a single command called “osctl”. Osctl provides 3 major functions Network &...

Page 7: Switch Control
Switch Control In order to switch input to output port 1 to 4 of a particular port block is achieved by using following command. $ osctl osctl - - - - p p p p {<port#/s> | <port_range> | <port_group>} < {<port#/s>... -

Page 12: Appendix A- Cascading Os414
Appendix A- Cascading OS414 OS414 ports can be cascaded to use as a 1x13 switch. This might be useful if you want to share 13 optical devices with one other optical device. Note that cascading increases the insertion loss but that shouldn’t an issue for most of the applications. To get a 1x13 configuration you will have to make following connections: The above setup needs some sequence of osctl commands to work. -
