The FSV-4PFS as shipped will not switch Ethernet - it switches pins 1,2,4,5.

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. 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. http://www.failsafevoip.com/index.php?main_page=product_info <http://www.failsafevoip.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1> &products_id=1 -- FailSafeVOIP, Inc.

You've got that right my friend! :-) On Tue, 2 Sep 2008 00:22:45 +0200, "Christian Victor" said: > <http://store.variantdistribution.com/category-s/49.htmVariant> http://store.variantdistribution.com/category-s/49.htmVariant - one of > Rhinos distributors and the only source I was able to find > - quotes the card for US$ 700. Strange. I've seen this happen before where retailers will list outrageously high prices for soon-to-be-released products. For example the SNOM KlarVoice handset. MSRP is $32, but I've seen it advertised for $200! <http://www.8774e4voip.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=klarvoice> http://www.8774e4voip.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=klarvoice I can say with confidence that the LIST price is US $350. The street price will be considerably lower. Frankly, if I were Snom or Rhino I'd be pretty cheezed off about this phenomenon. After hearing the 'buzz' about a new product such as this, I'd hate for customers to *decide* against it mistkenly believing this incorrect price. I'd turn my nose at either of these two products for the incorrect prices I've seen advertised. We're pretty stoked to have stumbled onto this product because it's brand new, and we've been looking for something like it for some time. -Karl
