How to Use an Optical Switch module Switching Optical Routes
For all switch modules the signal paths are bi-directional.
NOTE

Dependent and Independent Routing

Dependent Routing
If Route A <-> is dependent on Route B <->, editing the number of the port
assigned to Route A <-> automatically updates the number of the port
assigned to Route B <->.
For example, an Agilent 81594B 2x2 non-blocking (crossover) switch has
two routes described by [Route A <-> 1] [Route B <-> 2] and
[Route A <-> 2] [Route B <-> 1].
Independent Routing
(Only possible for discontoninued 81592A/S switch modules)
If Route A <-> is independent of Route B <->, there are two separate
switched channels. There are two numbered ports that you can assign to
Route A, and two separate numbered ports that you can assign to Route B.
For example, an Agilent 81592B dual 1x2 switch allows you to switch
Route A <-> to [Route A <-> 1] or [Route A <-> 2], and
Route B <-> to [Route B <-> 1] or [Route B <-> 2].
