Description
Model 50MS-426 is an 8X8 non-blocking matrix switch operating 350-6000MHz. Each input port can be connected to multiple output ports simultaneously. Each output port can be connected to only one input port. An 8X8 non-blocking matrix can only have a maximum of 8 active paths. All unused ports are absorptive (i.e. self-terminating into 50 Ohm). It is available with N female or SMA female connectors. We label the ports as IN and OUT as a naming convention only. All ports operate bi-directionally.
Remote Control
The matrix switch can be remotely controlled via an Ethernet connection or a serial connection (i.e. RS-232). The network settings can be changed manually with the keypad or remotely using the NET remote command. The network interface can be set to either DHCP mode or Fixed Address mode. All new test systems are shipped from the factory in DHCP mode. A RS-232 connection to the test system is made using a null modem type serial cable. Baud rates up to 155200 baud are available. The baud rate can be changed manually with the keypad or remotely with the SERIAL remote command.
