Easy Maintenance

• The BigMatrixTM ZXR10 5960 supports USB auto-upgrade, which not only can read and write to USB flash disks, but also supports version auto-upgrade in the case of empty configuration, which simplifies the steps of upgrading and maintaining the version and eliminates the need for version servers and tedious connections.
• The innovative M-button design of the BigMatrixTM ZXR10 5960 allows users to read the status of the port indicator to obtain important information about the device in a very short time, including port/memory/CPU usage status, which greatly shortens the troubleshooting time in the event of a network failure, and makes it easier for operation and maintenance personnel to understand the status of the device's network in real time during daily maintenance. M-button gives more meanings to the status of device port indicators without increasing the user's investment in terms of cost.
• BigMatrixTM series ZXR10 5960 supports zero deployment function, which can upgrade the version and update the configuration of a large number of similar devices at one time. Zero-configuration plug-and-play greatly reduces the workload of deploying, upgrading, and updating the configuration of a large number of devices.
• BigMatrixTM series ZXR10 5960 provides flexible air ducting solutions, in the realization of the front and rear air ducts at the same time, the user can choose different fans to achieve different wind direction (from front to back or back to front), the choice of wind direction allows users to flexibly install equipment in the rack to adapt to the ventilation conditions of the server room.
• BigMatrixTM series ZXR10 5960 supports ALS (Automatic Fiber Optic Cutoff) function, which can automatically cut off the optical signal output of the optical module in the event of fiber optic cutoff, avoiding accidental laser damage to the user's eyes.
