Overview

Imagine if you could convert all your unused Router outputs to inputs or all your unused inputs to additional outputs! This is exactly how Vega is different…we describe it as ‘fully asymmetric’…every port can be independently set up as an input or an output! Ideal for I/O port wastage within monitoring or distribution applications, where a traditional router of twice the size might be needed to implement the same system solution… Vega offers real savings in cost and space!

Also, there’s no large price premium. Vega uses a larger cross-point device, keeping the incremental costs very competitive when compared with the cost of multiple surplus ports on a conventional router.

Vega is also extremely easy to set up. In the ‘set-up’ section of the control software ports can be designated as either inputs or outputs. On saving the confi guration, if a port has been designated as an input (receiver), but an output (transmit) SFP ‘plug-in’ module has been fi tted in error, the control software will fl ag the problem suggesting the user either reconfi gure the port or exchange the ‘plug-in’ for the correct (receiver) type…it’s as simple as that!

In addition, every port has a single multi-colored LED indicator. Each color indicates if a port is an input or output together with its current status. ‘Flashing’ red LEDs indicate there is a confi guration error. Therefore any problems are immediately visible when fi tting a new plug in at the back of a rack.
