R6200200 - PatchView+ Collector

Datasheet

Installation Instruction

The PatchView+ Collector provides bi-directional communications between the PatchView+ Cards and rest of the system. The Collector "collects" data from the PatchView+ Cards and provides real-time data to the system. It also sends various commands to the Cards.

The Collector communications are enabled through an unmanaged L2 switch, which saves on ports in the main switch and enables cascading of collectors to provide unlimited network growth. Each Collector supports up to 24 Cards, with each Card supporting 24 ports. Thus a single Collector supports up to 576 ports.
