Front Panel Detail: Failure/Bypass Mode Controls and Indicators
Forcing a bypass of the SA7150 may be necessary when certain
actions must be performed offline (e.g., configuration changes,
entering certificates, or problem isolation).
To force a bypass of SA7150 processing, push the bypass button ON.
The Network Link, Inline, and Server Link LEDs are off in bypass
mode. ON disables the SA7150's ability to process e-Commerce
traffic. The mode of the Fail-through switch controls whether traffic
continues to flow unprocessed between the client and the server
(discussed below).
This switch allows the user to control what happens in the event of a
failure. It is located in a recess between the network link and server
link connectors. Use a small screwdriver or paper clip to operate the
switch. The two options are to either let traffic flow through the
SA7150 in the event of a failure (or the bypass switch being on) or to
block traffic. When the switch is in Fail-through mode (down
position), traffic is allowed to pass through unprocessed in the event
of a failure of the device or if the bypass toggle is ON.
