Introduction

Net Optics Optical Bypass Switches provide a permanent and trouble-free
access port for in-line network security and monitoring devices. The Opti-

cal Bypass Switch automatically switches network trafc through added IDP

devices or bypasses devices that are about to be removed. Prevent link failure
when attached IDP devices lose power by powering the Bypass Switch and
in-line device from the same power source.

Uninterrupted trafc

The Optical Bypass Switch supports fail-open monitoring with any ber IDP

device when it shares the same power source as the IDP. While the Optical

Bypass Switch is receiving power, it diverts network trafc to attached IDP. In
this state, all in-line trafc is routed directly to the IDP connected to the Opti-

cal Bypass Switch.

When the Optical Bypass Switch loses power, in-line trafc continues to ow

through the network link, but is no longer routed through the device. This al­lows the network devices to be removed and replaced without network down

time. Once power is restored to the Optical Bypass Switch, network trafc is

seamlessly diverted to the IDP, allowing it to resume its critical functions.
