    ARDWARE VERVIEW The CyberSWITCH is an embedded communications platform. It uses a flash file system (instead of a hard disk) and a two-stage boot device to initialize the platform and download system software. System software is preconfigured to allow immediate connection via a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) with Telnet and/or TFTP access.

    The unit’s ON/OFF switch is located in the upper right corner of the back panel. Directly below this switch are the AC power input and fuse box. Note that the unit requires a 250V, 5 x 20 mm time- lag fuse rated at 1.6 amps. The back panel also provides connectors for WAN and LAN access, as well an RS232 port for an administration console.
  • Page 39 1000 platform is at the end of the line, so these DIP switches must be ON to provide proper termination. In a Point-Multipoint connection, DIP switch settings are dependent upon the physical configuration of the line. If the 1000 platform is at the end of the line, the terminating resistors should be activated (DIP switches ON).
