Page 7: Section 1: Tlx System Features
Page 1 Section 1: TLX System Features The Logical Solution The TLX160 is a 10G, high-performance, protocol agnostic, 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 cables in a 9 RU Chassis. -
Page 8: Tlx160 Matrix Switch Design
Page 2 THE TLX160 MATRIX SWITCH DESIGN The rack-mountable design of the TLX160 10G Matrix Switch (sometimes referred to as a Switch or Router) supports up to 160 ports of full, uncompressed 4K video with full color depth at 60Hz frame rate in a 9 RU chassis for complete, end-to-end routing of video and peripheral signals over multi-mode or single-mode fiber-optic cable, or over 12G coax cable, thus minimizing critical rack space. -
Page 9: The Power Supply Modules
Page 3 The Digital Crosspoint Switch The Digital Crosspoint Switch is a non-blocking 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 10: The Controller Cards
Page 4 THE CONTROLLER CARDS The hot-swappable Controller Card connects the Matrix Switch to an External CPU. The RS-232 Serial Port may also be used for 3rd party controller integration (such as Crestron, AMX or home-spun interfaces). Also, the System Management Software may be used to control the Switch via the LAN port. Primary and Back-up: The Primary Controller Card should always be in the left controller slot. - Page 11 Page 5 Controller Card Ports: CONSOLE/RS232: The Controller Card has two RS-232 serial ports. One port is for the Linux Command Line Interface (labeled CONSOLE), and the other is for the switch's ASCII Command Interface (labeled RS-232). If a Back-Up Controller card is installed, then its Linux Console Port is active, but only the RS-232 Port on the active Controller Card will function.

Page 12: The Input/Output Cards
Page 6 THE INPUT / OUTPUT CARDS The TLX160 Matrix Switch supports a maximum of sixteen 6G, 10G or 12G SDI I/O Cards. Each 6G or 10G Card supports up to 10 T/R ports, available with multi-mode or single-mode fiber. ... - Page 13 Page 7 Typical 12G SDI fiber application. Each I/O Card supports up to 10 inputs & 10 outputs Each 12G SDI fiber-optic or coax SFP+ has either 2 outputs (Tx) or 2 inputs (Rx). thinklogical TLX160 Matrix Switch Product Manual Rev.

Page 14: The Fan Tray Module
Page 8 THE FAN TRAY MODULE The TLX160 Switch uses 3 DC fans located in one modular, hot-swappable Fan Tray designed for easy replacement without interrupting system functionality. The Fan Tray forces air into the chassis through air baffles in the front door. This cools the vertically mounted I/O Cards, the integrated circuits on the Controller Cards and the Backplane, and removing any heat generated by the Power Supply modules. -

Page 16: Snmp Support
Page 10 6. Service Request (LOS) Signaling (UDP port 17560) The TLX160 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 17: Serial/Rs-232 Interfaces
Page 11 SERIAL/RS-232 INTERFACES The TLX160 Controller Card has two RS-232 serial ports. One is for the Linux command line interface (labeled CONSOLE), and the other is for the Matrix Switch's ASCII command interface (labeled RS-232). If a Back-up Controller Card is installed, then its Linux console port is active. However, only the RS-232 port on the active Controller Card will function. -

Page 21: Fiber-Optic Sfp Modules
Page 15 Fiber-Optic SFP+ Modules (10G, 6G) Each 10G or 6G Fiber-optic Input / Output Card contains rows of SFP+ modules that serve as the fiber-optic couplers for the fiber cables to and from the Thinklogical transmitter and receiver extenders. Individual cards can be removed for easy access to the SFP+ modules. -

Page 36: Appendix D: Secure Applications
Page 30 Appendix D: 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 37 Page 31 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 38 Page 32 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 39 Page 33 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 40 Page 34 Partitioning Partitions allow TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switch sources and destinations to be segregated. Therefore, destination work stations 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 41 Page 35 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 42 Page 36 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 43 Page 37 Secure Application Examples The Diagram on pg. 38 shows the TLX160 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.
