<p class=MsoNormal>Although the original topic of this thread has changed quite
a bit, I wanted to point out that the "SPF" Product that you are
discussing is quite similar to our product, the FSV-4PFS. Ours is a 4
port device which can switch 4 T1/E1/J1/Ethernet or as many as 16 analog lines
from a primary to a backup server. It uses similar logic (power outage =
failover server, loss of hearbeat = failover server) and also has a physical
mechanical switch on the front of it which allows manual override
switching to main or secondary server.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>We also have addressed the 'clean startup' that was
discussed a few posts back. The switch will start and remain in 'failover
mode' until such time as it receives a hearbeat or the physical switch is moved
to the "main' position. A failed main server can be restarted/repowered
without bothering the backup server operation one bit - until you are ready to
switch back to the main server.<o:p></o:p></p>
