Abstract

The invention performs very fast switching between a main module and a standby module in the event of module failure. A single control line has different logic level signals applied thereto in the event of a main module failure and a standby module failure, with the signals on the control line being utilized to efficiently switch the on-line status of the modules to a desired state.
