SPMax System Accessories

The SPMax Control Pad is connected to a scanner and allows the technician performing the actual patching changes on site to activate the physical link change process. When a link task is sent to a scanner and saved, the Pending LED on the control pad turns on, indicating that there is a link task waiting to be implemented. The technician can now activate the link change process from the control pad. The appropriate LEDs on the patch panels now turn on to guide the technician through the process.

The on-site manual LED scan allows the technician at the rack to view the patch panel connections using the manual control pad.

When a port LED is turned on, the corresponding patch connection LED lights up, thus giving the technician visual indication of the patch cord connections.

SPMax Indicator Controllers are connected to Expanders. Rack Indicators, which are located on top of each Rack, are connected to SPMax Expanders. The Indicator Controller is related to all ports on the SMARTPatch Panels of each Rack.

Whenever a LED is lit on any port in any SMARTPatch Panel, the Indicator Controller sends a signal to the Rack Indicator on top of that Rack. The Rack Indicator blinks to guide the technician to the Rack.

Indicator Controllers and Rack Indicators are usually used in large Communication Rooms.
