    Trolleys The following two types of trolley configuration are supported, but operation using type 1 trolley configuration is recommended. Type 1: Trolley is equipped with an IP converter, which is connected to the system when moving between ORs. Type 2: IP converters are installed in the ORs, and only the source/destination device is moved between ORs. Trolley (type 1) Trolley (type 2) Destination...
  • Page 8 Safety priority This mode provides optical fiber cable redundancy by connecting each IP converter and network switches using two optical fiber cables. The same video signal is transmitted on both optical fiber cables to ensure the video signal is not interrupted if one of the cables is damaged or disconnected.
  • Page 9 Cost priority This mode of operation shares a network switch between two ORs. In this mode, video signals are transmitted over a single optical fiber cable, without optical fiber cable redundancy. If the cable is disconnected or damaged, the video is also interrupted. Instead, you can connect multiple IP converters to a single network switch, and share the network switch between two ORs.
