Depending of the type of control, there are two kits available. Either kit consists of an Ethernet/GPIB control board and 12x RJ11-6 cables (to be used with CAN bus switches), where some assembly is required. RF switches are not included and are purchased separately. Refer to the MS-6101 Controller page for a list of available Dow-Key CAN bus switches (Table 1). MS-ENET: This kit allows the user to control switches via Ethernet (TCP/IP with manual or DHCP IP address assignment), RS-232, USB and HTTP (built-in website). MS-GPIB: This kit offers the user GPIB (IEEE-488), RS-232 and USB controls. MS-Control kits are offered with Dow-Key SCPI commands that gives the user the flexibility to control the switches either directly via GPIB or TCP/IP protocols. These commands can also easily be embedded into customer designed software programs as a “string”. Application: Best used for ATE, test-bench and system integrated applications. What You Need: 1. Select either MS-ENET or MS-GPIB kit 2. Choose any CAN bus controlled switches per Table 1 3. Purchase additional RJ11-6 cable if 13 or more switches are needed. 4. If more than 20 switches are required, purchase RJ11 patch panel board along with RJ11-4 cables. The board support 11 additional switches and can be cascaded to support up to 256 switches.

The RF inputs are first amplified with high linearity amplifiers (to compensate for the insertion loss) and then divided using 4-way power dividers before being routed to SP8T coaxial switches terminated to 2W/50-ohm loads. Hence, the frequency band is limited to 1-18 GHz. A fan-out matrix divides all the RF inputs such that it can switch any input to one or more (all) outputs simultaneously.
