Automatic Protection Switching (APS)

VCL-SafeComm-EN, Automatic Ethernet Failover / AB Fallback Switch

VCL-SafeComm-E is a family of Ethernet Protection Equipment that provide 1+1 Automatic Ethernet Failover / AB Fallback Protection between an "active” and "standby" IP / Ethernet / MPLS Networks or between (Main and Standby) Equipment i.e. Routers, Servers, Switches, RTUs, Data Terminal (any type of Ethernet device) to provide 1+1 Automatic Ethernet fail-over protection / Equipment which is connected to the network through an Ethernet interface.

VCL-SafeComm-E is available in two variants (with 19 Inch rack-mount version).

1. VCL-SafeComm-EN
2. VCL-SafeComm-EF

VCL-SafeComm-EN provides 1+1 Automatic Ethernet Failover /AB Fallback Protection between two, IP / Ethernet / MPLS Networks (Primary and Standby Networks). The VCL- SafeComm-EN can be used to provide protection between two IP / Ethernet / MPLS networks across diverse domains such as fiber-radio; or fiber-satellite; or fiber-PSDN (Public Switched Data Network) to provide automatic fail-over protection to the “standby” network in the event of failure of the “primary” network. The solution provides various user-programmable switching criteria options. The equipment is “Fail-Safe” and never becomes a point-of-failure, even in power down condition.

• Fail-Safe. Never becomes a point of failure. Automatically reverts to and reconnects the “primary network” / even in a power down condition.
• End-to-End network Link monitoring
• Number of Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces: 3
• 1 x 10/100 Ethernet Interface: Network A (Primary)
• 1 x 10/100 Ethernet Interface: Network B (Standby)
• 1 x 10/100 Ethernet Interface User (Protected)
