On power off, the non-latching version does not guarantee an optical connect
•
When reapplying power to the SKB switch, a latching version stays on the latched channel
and a non-latching version resets to a configured known position
Channel Switching Times
The time to a sequential channel (for example, going from channel two to three) can appear to
be greater than the specification for the adjacent channel. This discrepancy can be due to a few
reasons:
•
If the user has used the REPLACE command to replace a damaged channel, that channel
is not sequential. Management of the switching order can be done using the
SWAP_CHANNEL command.
•
The factory configuration can be such that a channel was deliberately skipped.
Confirming Time Between Channels
The SKB switch allows the user to confirm the specified time to switch between channels. The
CONNECTION_TIME? query physically checks the time by switching between the start and
destination channel and outputs the results from the internal clock.
