Page 6: About This Product Manual
Page vi 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. Section 1 –... -
Page 7: Section 1: Tlx System Features
Page 1 Section 1: TLX System Features The Logical Solution The TLX320 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 16x16 up to 320x320, which allows for flexible deployment configurations. -
Page 8: The Tlx320 Matrix Switch Design
Page 2 THE TLX320 MATRIX SWITCH DESIGN The modular approach of the TLX320 Matrix Switch (sometimes referred to as a Switch or Router) allows all critical system components, including Input/Output Cards, Power Supplies, Controller Cards and pluggable optics (SFP+) to be hot-swappable, thus minimizing down-time during reconfigurations, updates or failures. -
Page 9: Product Compatability
Page 3 PRODUCT COMPATIBILTY TLX Matrix Switches are compatible with the following Thinklogical products: ® • Single & Multi-Mode TLX 10G KVM and Video Extenders (10G to 10G only) • Single & Multi-Mode Velocity CATx KVM and Video Extenders (6G to 6G only) •... -
Page 10: Power Supply Modules
Page 4 POWER SUPPLY MODULES The dual, redundant power supplies 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 11: The Controller Cards
Page 5 THE CONTROLLER CARDS The hot-swappable Controller Cards connect the TLX320 to an External CPU. The RS-232 serial port may be used for third party controller integration (such as Crestron, AMX or home-spun interfaces). Also, the SMP Software may be used to control the switch via the LAN port. A Back-up Controller Card ensures uninterrupted functionality if the Primary Controller Card should fail or need to be replaced. -

Page 14: Serial/Rs-232 Interfaces
Page 8 SERIAL/RS-232 INTERFACES The Controller Card has two RS-232 serial ports. One Controller Card is for the Linux command line interface (labeled CONSOLE), and the other is for the switch's ASCII command interface (labeled RS232). If a Back-up Controller card is installed, then its Linux console port is active, but only the RS232 port on the active Controller Card will function. -

Page 19: Redundancy And Network Requirements
Page 13 Redundancy and Network Requirements A Back-up Control Card (sometimes called a Secondary or Fail-Over Control Card) is optional and ensures uninterrupted functionality if the Primary Control Card ever fails or needs to be replaced. Two network requirements need to be in place for a switchover to occur: The Back-up Control Card must have a LAN connection to the server with the IP address as specified in the “TLX320 DIP Switch Settings”... -
Page 20: Fiber-Optic Cable
Page 14 Each TLX320 I/O card has 16 SFP+ Modules, each mounted within a grounded, metal en- closure. Each SFP is locked into its enclosure with a built-in latch handle that can be opened for removal or locked for installation (right). The latch handle spans the two LC ports. -

Page 22: Tlx Catx Cable Configurations
Page 16 TLX Extender CATx Cable Configurations There are currently several versions of CATx (category 5/5a/6/6a/etc.) cables on the market. Thinklogical recommends using a minimum of CAT6 for your TLX KVM Matrix Switch and Extension System (CAT6a 23 AWG recommended). All cables CAT6 or higher can extend up to a maximum of 100m. -

Page 26: Safely Remove An Active Control Card Or Shut Down The System
Page 20 Safely Remove an Active Control Card or Shut Down the System During normal, non-maintenance operation, the Primary Control Card should always be the Active controller for the system. However, there may be times when other conditions temporarily exist, such as during maintenance, updates, repairs, etc. Although the system will run normally on the Back-up Control Card, not having a second card eliminates the fail-over protection afforded by a redundant, two-card system. -
Page 27: How To Install And Replace A Control Card
Page 21 Hold the replacement module by the handles and place it into the slot vertically so that the POWER LED is on the top. The card should slide freely until it reaches the backplane connector. At this point, use just enough force to firmly engage the card with the mating If the module does not slide into the connector, do not force it! Damage connector. -
Page 28: How To Install And Replace A Power Supply
Page 22 How to Replace a Power Supply Warning! Disconnect the power cord before proceeding! Note: If only ONE power supply is installed, shutdown IS required. If TWO power supplies are installed, shutdown IS NOT required. The Power Modules are universal input 100-240VAC 50-60Hz. Use the proper power cords for your region (PWR-000056-R, supplied with the unit). -

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 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 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 TLX320 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.
