Redundancy Switch Systems
Installation and Operation

1. GENERAL

Dataprobe's RSS Redundancy Switch Systems provide high density relay based A/B switching for multiple
circuits. Two chassis systems are available to accommodate large and small applications.
Each system uses the same plug in cards, providing switching for up to 32 circuits in a single chassis. Both
systems offers gang (simultaneous) switching as well as individual control of each A/B card.
Dataprobe's RSS Series rack mounting chassis are available in two models; RSS-16 and RSS-3.
The RSS-16 supports up to 16 AB switch cards, 2 control interface cards and 2 internal power supply modules
in a compact 4U high, 19 inch chassis.
The RSS-3 supports up to 3 AB switch cards, 1 control interface card and 1 internal power supply module, in a
1U chassis with removable rack mount brackets.
Both chassis also provides access to local control switches for each of the A/B switch cards and viewing of their
A/B status LEDs.
Information in this manual applies to both systems except where specifically indicated.
Power Supply modules are available for 100 -240 VA/C , 50-60Hz and 48 VDC power sources. Two modules
can be installed in the chassis. In addition, external 24 V dc power supplies are available as an alternative to
the internal power module or to provide redundant power.

    Card Setup: This allows setting of parameters for individual A/B cards in the system. Each card can be named, up to 20 characters, and can be enabled or disabled. Disabling a card hides its status from web and telnet screens. This should be used where no card is installed, to make reading the screens easier.

    5.2. Web Browser Operation 5.2.1. Password Protection: IPC-1-R uses two passwords, one for normal use and one that also provides access to the setup functions. From the factory, both are set the same. Open your browser and access IPC-1-R by entering the default (192.168.1.254) or current IP address into your browser's Address window.
  • Page 28 When you are finished with IPC-1-R, click on Logout. A confirmation page will be displayed. If you close your browser windows without first clicking Logout, there will be a two minute delay before you can re-access IPC-1- IPC-1-R will automatically time out if there is no activity for two minutes. This is to prevent accidental lockout by leaving the browser open.

    5.3. Setup Page The setup page consists of several sections. Each time a setting is changed click on the Apply button for that section to save the changes in IPC-1-R. Set the name that displays on the top of the Home Page as well as Device the Status Name for the A and B switch positions.
  • Page 30 IPC-1-R's IP address into your browser: if the new port is 9100 then use http://192.168.1.254:9100 to access IPC-1-R. Dataprobe recommends changing of the port from the default 80 to reduce the number of attacks from hackers. SSL: The IPC-1-R can use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect the username/password and data between the browser and the switch.

  • Page 31: Autoping

    5.4. AutoPing AutoPing allows the IPC-1-R to monitor one or two network attached devices and automatically switch based on the availability of these devices. Ping Address: Enter the IP address of the device(s) to be pinged. Ping Frequency: Enter 1 to 999 seconds. The ping will go out to the selected device this often. Fail Counter: 1 to 99.

  • Page 32: Troubleshooting

    You can find and reset IPC-1-R to its factory default conditions, with the exception of the IP address. Dataprobe provides a Discovery and Reset utility for Windows. You will need to have physical access to the IPC-1-R as well as network access. Download the reset program and instructions at http://dataprobe.com/support-rss-series-welcome/...
