beroNet DNFOS Failover Switch

• 4x4 RJ45 ports for switching 4 BRI (8 BRI with BFT adapters) or 4 PRI interfaces

• All 8 pins of each RJ45 are switched

• Failover and bypass scenario selectable 

• Fully configurable via TCP/IP through web interface

• Fully configurable via API for custom applications

• Syslog output to manage the device for individual customer applications

• Built-in watchdog for automatic failover switching

• Built-in email notification in case of failover

• 2 switchable power ports on the back of the device for remote restart

The failover scenario ensures smooth and reliable operation of two PBXs running concurrently, with the second one only being activated after the first has failed, to minimize downtime (see image). This scenario is not only interesting in case of failures but can also be used during maintenance, repair, or upgrade of your telecommunications equipment. 

The bypass scenario is interesting for customers who wish to retain their old phone system while adding new functionalities by placing a new PBX in front of the old one (for example, an Asterisk system). With the bypass scenario, you have the option to add a new PBX between the PSTN lines and the outgoing lines of the old PBX system. In the event of a failover, the PSTN lines are transparently reconnected to the existing old PBX (see image).
