Page 7: Section 1: The Tlx System Features
Page 2 Section 1: TLX System Features The Logical Solution The TLX640 is a 10G high performance modular, non-blocking matrix switch that supports full, uncompressed 4K video with full color depth at 60Hz frame rate for complete, end-to-end routing of video and peripheral signals over multi-mode or single-mode fiber-optic cable. This highly reliable and resilient matrix switch is expandable from 20x20 ports up to 640x640 ports, which allows for highly flexible deployment configurations. -
Page 8: The Tlx640 Design
Page 3 THE TLX640 DESIGN The modular approach of the TLX640 Matrix Switch (sometimes referred to as a Switch or Router) allows all critical system components, including switch cards, power supplies, cooling fans and pluggable optics (SFP+) to be hot-swappable, thus minimizing business impact during reconfigurations, updates or failures. -
Page 9: Power Supply Modules
Page 4 POWER SUPPLY MODULES The dual, redundant power supplies for each card cage ensure continuous, uninterrupted power. The supplies are current sharing which means the supplies share the load equally. If a power supply fails, the redundant power supply can support the entire current load of one fully populated card cage. -

Page 13: Alarms
Page 8 ALARMS: The Fan Tray is equipped with an annunciator port for system alarms that can be configured to trigger an external control system. The dry alarm contacts are Normally Closed when unpowered, Normally Open when powered (OK condition) and Closed for an alarm condition. Maximum switching capacity is 2A at 12V. - Page 14 Page 9 THE DIGITAL CROSSPOINT SWITCH The Digital Crosspoint Switch is a non-blocking 12Gpbs asynchronous switch that can connect any input to any output of Thinklogical’s TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switches. Video and Data signals are routed in both directions and the data stream is de-multiplexed at the receiver to deliver uncompressed, high resolution video, audio and peripheral data at the end-user’s workstation.

Page 40: Appendix E: Secure Applications
Page 35 APPENDIX E: Secure Applications TLX Matrix Switch Control When used in a secure application, the Matrix Switch and External Computer (server) used to manage the system must be in a physically secure environment to which only trusted administrators have access. Similarly, the server used to manage the Matrix Switch must be physically protected and have suitable identification/authentication mechanisms to ensure that only trusted administrators have access. - Page 41 Page 36 Restricted Switching Restricted Switching provides multiple levels of security classification domains on the same Matrix Switch. Each destination must ensure that no unauthorized content is displayed or accessed. Therefore, every input and output must be prioritized. Priorities can range from 1 to the total number of ports in the Matrix Switch.
- Page 42 Page 37 To verify the system’s Restricted Switching policy, Thinklogical recommends the following: 1) Review the daemon.log file on the active Controller Card and correct any errors in the Restricted Switching Table before implementing multiple levels of security classification domains on the same Matrix Switch.
- Page 43 Page 38 Restricted Switching with TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switches Restricted Switching Priority Scheme 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.
- Page 44 Page 39 Partitioning Partitions allow TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switch sources and destinations to be segregated. Therefore, destination workstations will only receive signals that are transmitted from source computers in the same partition. In addition, it is impossible for a source computer to be inadvertently routed outside of its designated partition as the signals will not be transmitted.
- Page 45 Page 40 At system power up, after initial boot-up, the Primary Controller Card will only evaluate its Partition Table (upstream.csv file) once upon becoming active. The Back-Up Controller Card will NOT evaluate its Partition Table (upstream.csv file) at initial boot-up, but rather when a switchover occurs from Primary Active to Back-Up Active.
- Page 46 Page 41 Partition Switching is disabled when Partition Table files are removed. By default, when there are no Partition Table files, all ports not listed will default to partition 1. All Switches are shipped without Partition Table files stored on the Controller Card and therefore do not restrict any connection. Administration Access There are two methods by which the administrator can access the Switch Controller Configurations: 1.
- Page 47 Page 42 Secure Application Examples The diagram on pg. 43 shows the TLX12 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.
