Switch Interface Boards (TXP-F13 SIBs) in the TX Matrix Plus router connect with the
SIBs in the T1600 routers (TXP-T1600 SIBs) to create a high-speed switch fabric. You
manage the routing matrix by connecting the TXP-CB in the TX Matrix Plus router to
external management devices.
Figure 1 on page 4 shows a routing matrix that connects to four T1600 routers.
