4.3.3 Matrix Grid
You can use a matrix grid for applications where the required number of
ports is not sufficient or important connections need to be made to several
matrices to provide redundancy.
A matrix grid consists of one master matrix and at least one slave matrix.
In its maximum configuration, it can consist of up to 16 matrices.
In order to build a matrix grid, the grid matrices are interconnected by
“Grid Lines”. In this case, the slave matrices can be connected directly to
the master matrix or between themselves.
When arranging the grid lines, various grid setups can be realized, for
example: a ring setup, a hub & spoke setup or a fully connected setup of
matrices.
Grid lines can process signals bidirectional (
Smart Connect
). Per grid
line, one KVM connection can be transmitted.
Switching operations that extend beyond a single grid matrix are made by
the grid master. Local switching operations will still be made by each sub
matrix.
To configure the matrix grid, see Chapter
