Matrix Cascading
Cascading allows a switchable connection to be established between two matrix switches through Tie Lines.
This kind of configuration may useful when the number of ports in the entire system needs to be increased, or
when certain important connections should be distributed to several matrix switches for redundancy.
The Tie Lines are unidirectional and can only be used in one direction according to their configuration. For
cascading with bidirectional signal flows, Tie Lines have to be set up in opposite directions. To use Tie Lines
between matrix switches, Master/Slave CON devices and Master/Slave CPU devices must be created for
switching within the cascaded environment.
Matrix Cascading does not require Firmware Bundle 4.
Matrix Cascading can be configured with the OSD or the Java Tool.
General Preparation:
1. Define a
Master Matrix
. All other connected matrix switches will be configured as
Sub Matrices
in the
configuration process.
2. Tie Lines must not be connected until the configuration process is completed.
