Description
VCL-SafeComm-E is a family of Ethernet Failover Protection Switches that provide 1+1 Automatic Ethernet Failover / AB Fallback Protection between an "active” and "standby" equipment; or between “main” and “standby” networks which are connected to the network through an Ethernet interface.
VCL-SafeComm-E-D –10/100BaseT Fast Ethernet Failover (Compact DIN-Rail) unit which supports a maximum of 100MBits/sec. data throughput on its primary and standby interfaces. The unit is powered from a 12VDC power source with the option of an external AC-DC adapter.
Number of interfaces available in Fast Ethernet version: Three
Use Case # 1: The VCL-SafeComm-E, Ethernet Failover equipment provides 1+1 Automatic Ethernet Failover Switching / Fallback Protection between two, Main and Standby Switches, Servers, RTUs or any other similar terminals to provide equipment redundancy in applications which require 99.99% terminal equipment up-time. The Ethernet 1+1 fail-over protection automatically switches to the “standby” terminal equipment in the event of failure of the “primary” terminal equipment to ensure that the 99.99% terminal equipment up-time requirements are always being met.
Use Case # 2: The VCL-SafeComm-E, Ethernet Failover equipment provides 1+1 Automatic Ethernet Failover / AB Fallback Switch provides protection between an "active” and "standby" IP / Ethernet / MPLS Networks (including "active” and "standby" Gateways and Routers) to provide 1+1 automatic ethernet fail-over protection between two distinctly separate networks through an ethernet interface.
