• Field upgradable, hot-swappable modular design — The architecture of the
DMS matrix switcher 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.
•
Power redundancy — Power redundancy, standard for the DMS 3600 and optional
for the DMS 1600, ensures zero downtime and no loss of functionality through all but
catastrophic power failure.
• Two AC power inputs — Two inputs ensure the switcher operates through any
power interruption short of a simultaneous loss of power from both power sources.
•
Two power input circuits — The two complete power circuits, from the plug,
through the power supply, to the power insertion onto the power distribution plane,
are separate and independent from each other (see figure 2).

• Two hot-swappable power supplies
(standard for the DMS 3600 and optional for the DMS 1600) — The 100 VAC
to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power supplies of the matrix switchers provide worldwide
power compatibility.
•
Primary and redundant circuits — The power supply circuitry is configured to
automatically switch over. Should the primary power supply fail, the hot redundant
power supply immediately assumes the load of the failed primary supply, meaning
zero downtime and no loss of functionality.
• Ease of maintenance — A failed power supply can be easily replaced from the rear
at any time without powering down the matrix, and with no tools required.
• Power supply status LEDs — Front panel and rear panel LEDs indicate the status
of the primary and redundant power supplies.
Operational flexibility — Operations such as input/output selection and setting of presets
can be performed using a variety of local and remote control mechanisms:
• Front panel controller
•
Matrix Switchers Control Program
• Simple Instruction Set (SIS)
• HTML pages
• Remote control panels and keypads (see the list on
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.
