Page 6: About This Product Manual
This product manual is divided into four sections: TLX System Features, Set-Up & Installation, Regulatory & Safety Requirements and Thinklogical Support. These are sub-divided to help you find the topics and procedures you are looking for. This manual also contains Appendices. -
Page 7: Section 1: Tlx System Features
Creating physical separation between potential threats (users) and the target (secure data) is essential to a secure system design. Thinklogical’s system permits users to access sources up to 80 kilometers away, with no performance degradation. System administrators can safeguard sources in a... -
Page 8: The Tlx24 Matrix Switch Design
THE TLX24 MATRIX SWITCH DESIGN The ultra-compact design of the TLX24 10G Matrix Switch (sometimes referred to as a Switch or Router) supports up to 24 ports of full, uncompressed 4K video with full color depth at 60Hz frame rate in a single 1 RU chassis for complete, end-to-end routing of video and peripheral signals over multi-mode or single- mode fiber-optic cable or CATx cable, thus minimizing critical rack space. -
Page 9: Desktop Or Rack Mount
Page 3 Desktop or Rack Mount You may choose to place your TLX24 Chassis on or under a shelf or desktop (rubber feet included, under-desk mounting brackets, Kit ENCA000797, available), or rack mount it using the supplied EIA 19” mounting brackets. In any mounting configuration, the front panel should be visible and unobstructed so that the navigation buttons and LCD display are accessible. -
Page 10: Alarms Displayed On The Lcd
The Button Panel is used to select sources and destinations, make new switch connections and to review existing switch connections. The Button Panel, located on the front of the TLX24, provides Matrix Switch control via the RS232 port’s API interface. The following pages provide a functional description of each of the 60 buttons. - Page 11 The reset button is recessed behind the front panel and can be pressed with a fine tipped tool. This will reset the entire unit and is used only in extreme cases. Preferred ways of resetting the unit use the front panel menus. thinklogical TLX24 Matrix Switch Product Manual Rev.

Page 12: The Power Supply Module
Internal 100 Megabit Ethernet Interface for processor to processor communications THE NETWORK INTERFACES The default subnet used by the TLX24 is 192.168.13.xxx. Users may change to their own subnet by reconfiguring the switch’s network startup. This is detailed in the document: Manual_How_To_Change_A_TLX_Matrix_Switch’s_IP_Address. -
Page 13: Snmp Support
6. Service Request (LOS) Signaling (UDP port 17560) The TLX24 10G Matrix Switch can broadcast a message over the network when a remote receiver requests attention. When enabled, the receiver will toggle its TX pin, causing a LOS (loss of signal) event to occur at the switch. -
Page 14: Serial/Rs-232 Interfaces
Page 8 SERIAL/RS-232 INTERFACES The TLX24 has two RS-232 serial ports. One is for the Linux command line interface (labeled CONSOLE), and the other is for the switch's ASCII command interface (labeled RS232. Linux Command Console (Console) • Baud Rate: 115200 •... -

Receiver first, using standard cables. Power can then be applied to the unit. The Receiver then connects to the TLX24 using fiber-optic cable (Multi-mode fiber for distances up to 400m; Single-mode fiber for distances beyond 400m). -
Page 23: Connecting To A Control Cpu
® Connecting to a Control CPU The TLX24 is controlled via a dedicated external Control CPU. This allows for customization as well as ease of control and administration. Access is provided via a network connection or serial RS-232 port. Note: The Control CPU (Computer) is supplied separately. -

Page 32: Appendix C: Secure Applications
Thinklogical’s TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switches use two methods for secure routing. One is known as Restricted Switching and the other is known as Partitioning. These methods can be deployed singularly or jointly, depending on security requirements. - Page 33 For access to the daemon.log file via SSH, refer to THE NETWORK INTERFACES section of this document (pg. 6). To verify the system’s Restricted Switching policy, Thinklogical recommends the following: 1) Review the daemon.log file and correct any errors in the Restricted Switching Table before implementing multiple levels of security classification domains on the same Matrix Switch.
- Page 34 The following example shows a priority scheme for four levels of security managed by one TLX Matrix Switch: Restricted switching is configured via firmware loaded into the Matrix Switch. The configuration file for this scenario will appear like the table at right. thinklogical TLX24 Matrix Switch Product Manual Rev. H, Oct., 2019...
- Page 35 A TLX80 with four partitions: Ports 5-10 are accessible to both partitions 2 and 3. The following example shows a TLX80 Switch with an overlapping partition: The TLX24 Partition Table files are stored on the iMX6 at: /var/local/router/partition/upstream.csv thinklogical TLX24 Matrix Switch Product Manual Rev.
- Page 36 For access to the daemon.log file via SSH, refer to THE NETWORK INTERFACES section of this manual (pg. 6) for correct IP addresses. To verify the system’s Partitioning policy, Thinklogical recommends the following: 1) Review the daemon.log file and correct any errors in the Partition Table before implementing multiple levels of security classification domains on the same Matrix Switch.
- Page 37 Page 31 Secure Application Examples The Diagram on pg. 32 shows the TLX24 Matrix Switch in a secure application. The highly secure components are described as the Red Network and the other, lower security components are described as the Black Network. The Red Network, containing the computers (sources), is shown in a physically secure environment along with the TLX Matrix Switch, the computer server used to manage the Switch, and the Network Hub.
