Theory of Operation
MRTS Technology
Thinklogical VX Matrix Switches are used together as a system with our Thinklogical Velocity Extenders utilizing breakthrough, patent-pending technology for transmission and reception of DVI, keyboard, mouse, and high-speed data peripherals. This technology, known as Multi Rate Transmission System (MRTS), provides end-to-end data transmission with unparalleled performance.
This new, unique optic platform enables multiple data streams to be transmitted long distances over single or multiple fibers with complete reconstruction of the data clock at the destination end point. The result is perfect synchronization with each transmitted stream.
Powered by
MRTS Technology
All VX products are designated with our
“Powered by MRTS Technology” logo
.
MRTS is a highly reliable technology and delivers powerful benefits to our customers when combined with our new SFP+ optics. The new MRTS Technology can transport every frame of a 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz (or higher) video stream with no compression, along with all desktop peripherals (keyboard, mouse, etc., including 480Mbps USB 2.0) with no latency. Moreover, these signals can be transmitted distances from just a few meters over multi-mode fibers or up to 40 kilometers over single-mode fibers.
MRTS allows the incorporation of traditional AV implementations and video routing into the same switch fabric, providing greater value, flexibility, performance and security. Additional unique capabilities include the ability to support 6.25Gbps bandwidth per stream, between 50% and 100% higher than our traditional systems (typically
1.485Gbps to 3.2Gbps). This is significant because a single DVI stream requires a 5.4Gbps data rate to accommodate the 165MHz of video data. Traditional technology’s lower bandwidth capability is generally manifested in either dropped frames or lower resolution associated with compressing schemes. Not so with MRTS Technology.

VX Matrix Switch Modules
The inspired modular approach of the VX40, VX80, VX160, VX320 and VX320Video/Audio Matrix Switches makes all critical system components, including power supplies, cooling fans and pluggable optics (SFP+), hot­swappable, thus minimizing productivity impact in case of failure or system reconfiguration.
Power Supplies
The dual, redundant power supplies ensure continuous, uninterrupted power. The supplies are current sharing, which means the supplies equally share the load. If a power supply were to fail, a single power supply can withstand the entire current load of the VX Matrix Switch system. Although the VX Matrix Switches functions properly with one power module, it is recommended that both modules be used, preferably connected to two independent power sources (for redundancy). Additionally, the hot-swappable feature allows for easy replacement of a module (in case of failure) without interrupting the VX Matrix Switches system functionality.

The VX Matrix Switches use 3 DC cooling fans, all located in one modular fan tray. The tray is designed to move air horizontally through the enclosure. This hot-swappable fan tray allows easy replacement of the module without interrupting the system functionality. Any two of the three DC fans will adequately cool the system.
The Fan Tray is also equipped with an Alarm Annunciator Port. The system alarms can be configured to trigger an external control system or generate SNMP Traps.

The Controller Cards
The hot-swappable Controller Card connects the Matrix Switch to an external Linux or Windows CPU. The serial port can also be used for 3rd party controller integration (such as Crestron, AMX or home-spun interfaces). Also, the Configurator Software can be used to control the Matrix Switch via the LAN port. Please note that there is a separate document for our Configurator Manual. It can be found on our website at
www.thinklogical.com. The VX320 and VX320VIDEO Matrix Switches require an OSD (On Screen Display)
version of the Controller Card for use with the Hot Key Manager: VXM-000031 (VX320) and VXM-000032 (VX320VIDEO).

External CPU to Controller Cards
The Controller Cards of each VX Matrix Switch model connect the Matrix Switch to an External CPU.
The External Control CPU must meet the following minimum requirements:
• RedHat EL5.3 or Windows or CentOS 5.3
• 1 Gig RAM
• 1 DVD drive
• VGA and/or DVI video port
• USB or PS2 Keyboard / Mouse
• 1 network port
• 80 Gig (minimum) hard drive
• 1 optional RS-232 serial port (Crestron/AMX serial access)
An optional Back-Up Controller Card ensures uninterrupted functionality if the Primary Controller Card ever needs to be replaced.
VX Matrix Switch DIP Switch Settings
If the VX Matrix Switch is to be controlled via Ethernet, it will require a static IP address. This value can be set via the DIP switch to the values listed below. The factory default setting is 192.168.13.15.

VX Matrix Switch DIP Switch Locations and Setting
The simplest network connection is an isolated network with only the VX Matrix Switch, the control server, and any control clients using static IP addresses. The VX Matrix Switch can be set to any of the above settings. The control server must be at 192.168.13.9, and the control clients could then be set to any other addresses in the 192.168.13.X family.
Page 22
®
Page 21
If static IP addresses for the control server and its clients are not possible, then the control server will require two (2) network interfaces with one interface set to the static address 192.168.13.9 and dedicated to the VX Matrix Switch(s) while the other network interface can be configured as required by the facility's network administrator.
A Back-Up Controller Card is optional to ensure uninterrupted functionality if the Primary Controller Card should fail or need to be replaced. The Primary Controller Card should always be in the left or upper controller slot. This card must have a LAN connection that allows communication between the Primary Controller and a server having an IP address of 192.168.13.9. Without this interface, the back-up controller cannot take control of the Matrix Switch. The server should have its firewall turned off or be configured so that it is able to respond to pings from the Primary and back-up controllers.
Note: Removing the Primary Controller Card when it is Active will power down the VX Matrix
Switch and interrupt service. Refer to page 37 “How to Install or Replace a Controller Card”.
Note: When using a Back-up Controller configuration in a Secure Application with Restricted
Switching, both controllers must have the same Restricted Switching Table files (see Appendix D: Secure Applications, page 57).
Input/Output Cards
The hot-swappable Input/Output (I/O) cards provide excellent in-service expansion capabilities in convenient sets of 5 ports per I/O card for the VX40 and VX80, sets of 20 ports per I/O card for the VX160 or sets of 16 ports per I/O card for the VX320s, thus allowing re-configuration without interrupting signal processing.
Each I/O card consists of one Transmit (T) and one Receive (R) optic per port. I/O Cards are available with LC-type fiber connectors and can be assembled with Single-mode or Multi-mode optics (SFP+). Each individual I/O Card lists the ports as 1 through 5 on the VX40 and VX80, as 1 through 20 on the VX160 and as 1 through 16 on the VX320 and VX320Video/Audio. The Fan Tray module lists the port numbers
(All numbering is bottom-to-top, left-to-right. See Input/Output Port Numbering beginning on page
26). A LED located at the top of each I/O card indicates when power is ON to that card.
Micro-HDMI Input / EDID Output Cards
Also available, with the VX320Video Matrix Switch only, are HDMI Input Cards with Micro HDMI connectors that support input cable lengths up to 15 meters and include a USB mini-B connector for FPGA updates. These HDMI Input / EDID Output Cards (VXM-DH0016) are only compatible with a TLX Controller Card. Please ask your Thinklogical sales rep for details. Sixteen 2-meter, micro-HDMI
to HDMI cables (CBL000107-002MR) are supplied with each card.
The built-in support bracket on the VXM-DH0016 has convenient snap-on clips to hold up to 16 cables per card

VX40 I/O Cards
The VX40 Matrix Switch consists of a single 80-input by 80-output, non-blocking switch matrix. This allows any port on any I/O card (Upstream or Downstream) to be connected to any other port. The VX40 is designed so that 8 I/O card slots on the left side are used for Upstream Cards and 8 I/O card slots on the right side are used for Downstream Cards.
The Upstream and Downstream Cards are functionally equivalent. Either card can be used interchangeably for routing signals, but they can only physically plug into their respective slots in the VX40 chassis. Thus, the VX40 can connect any Upstream Port optical input or any Downstream Port optical input (SFP+ R) to any Upstream and/or any Downstream Port optical output (SFP+ T). Figure 1 below depicts a bi-directional connection from Upstream Port 1 to Downstream Port 1. This requires two switch connections, one from the Upstream optical input to the Downstream optical output and one from the Downstream optical input to the Upstream optical output.
Figure 1: VX40 Input/Output Concept
Page 24

Page 23
VX80 I/O Cards
The VX80 Matrix Switch consists of a single 80 input by 80 output non-blocking switch matrix. This allows any port on any I/O card to be connected to any other port. The VX80 is designed so that all 16 I/O card slots accept the same type of card. The VX80 I/O card is functionally and physically the same as the VX40 Upstream Card. The VX80 Matrix Switch configuration can have a minimum of one I/O Card. Each VX80 I/O card contains 5 ports, so that when fully configured, the VX80 will contain 16 I/O cards. The 16 I/O cards provide a total of 80 Optical Input/Output connections (SFP+ T/R). The switching matrix connects any optical input (SFP+ R) to any optical output (SFP+ T), even if it is the same Port number (i.e. Port 1 R connected to Port 1 T).
Figure 2: VX80 Input/Output Concept
Page 25

Page 24
VX160 I/O Cards
The VX160 contains two independent 160x160 fully non-blocking switch matrices. One switching matrix connects any Upstream Port optical input (SFP+ R) to any Downstream Port optical output (SFP+ T). The other switching matrix connects any Downstream Port optical input (SFP+ R) to any Upstream Port optical output (SFP+ T). The VX160 Matrix Switch configuration must have a minimum of 1 Upstream Card (Green) and 1 Downstream Card (Blue), each containing 20 ports. When fully configured, the VX160 will contain 8 Upstream cards and 8 Downstream cards. The 8 Upstream cards provide a total of 160 Optical Input/Output connections (SFP+ T/R) described as Upstream Ports 1-160. The 8 Downstream cards provide a total of 160 Optical Input/Output connections (SFP+ T/R) described as Downstream Ports 1-160. Figure 3 depicts a bidirectional connection from Upstream Port 1 to Downstream Port 1, showing downstream flow through one 160x160 fully non-blocking switch matrix, and upstream flow through another 160x160 fully non-blocking switch matrix.

VX320 I/O Cards
The VX320 Matrix Switch configuration can have a minimum of one I/O Card in either the Upper Card Cage or the Lower Card Cage. The VX320 Matrix Switch is constructed with one fully non-blocking 320x320 switch matrix in the Upper Card Cage and another fully non-blocking 320x320 switch matrix in the Lower Card Cage. Each VX320 I/O card contains 16 ports, so that when fully configured, the VX320 will contain 20 I/O cards in the Upper Card Cage and 20 I/O cards in the Lower Card Cage. The 20 I/O cards in the Upper Card Cage provide a total of 320 Optical Input/Output connections (SFP+ T/R) described as Upper Card Cage Ports 1-
320. Similarly, the 20 I/O cards in the Lower Card Cage provide a total of 320 Optical Input/Output connections
(SFP+ T/R) described as Lower Card Cage Ports 1-320. The Upper Card Cage switching matrix connects any Upper Card Cage Port optical input (SFP+ R) to any Upper Card Cage Port optical output (SFP+ T), even if it is the same Port number (i.e. Port 1 R connected to Port 1 T). Similarly, the Lower Card Cage switching matrix connects any Lower Card Cage Port optical input (SFP+ R) to any Lower Card Cage Port optical output (SFP+ T), even if it is the same Port number (i.e. Port 1 R connected to Port 1 T).
Figure 4 depicts a bidirectional connection. One direction is the connection from the Upper Card Cage Port optical input (SFP+ R) to the Upper Card Cage Port optical output (SFP+ T), showing Video/Data flow from the TX to the RX being routed through the Upper Card Cage 320x320 fully non-blocking switch matrix. The other direction is the connection from the Lower Card Cage Port optical input (SFP+ R) to the Lower Card Cage Port optical output (SFP+ T), showing the Data (KMASS) flow from the RX to the TX being routed through the Lower Card Cage 320x320 fully non-blocking switch matrix.

Pluggable SFP+ Optical Modules
The SFP+ Optical Module is an 8Gb/s Short-Wavelength Transceiver designed for use in bi-directional Fiber Optic Channel links. The modules are hot-pluggable and operate with 3.3VDC.
Each Input and Output card contains rows of SFP+ modules that serve as the fiber-optic couplers for the fiber cables to and from the Thinklogical Tx and Rx Extenders. Individual cards can be removed for ease of access to the SFP+ modules.
Each I/O card can have as many as 5 SFP+ modules for a VX40, 20 SFP+ modules for a VX160, and 16 SFP+ modules for a VX320 each mounted within a grounded metal enclosure. Each SFP+ module is locked into its enclosure with a built-in latch handle that can be opened for removal or locked for installation.
The latch handle spans the two LC ports and arrows printed on the handle indicate which port is an INPUT ( ) and which is an OUTPUT ( ).
Always use dust caps to protect against damage when any fiber optic connector is not attached to its coupling device.

Note: It is good practice to immediately install dust plugs in unused SFP modules and on the
ferrules of unconnected fiber-optic cables.

Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber Optic Cable Requirements
Thinklogical recommends SX+ Laser Enhanced (50µm) fiber for your VX Matrix Switch and Velocity Extension System. Multi-mode fiber can extend up to a maximum of 1000m, where Single-mode fiber can extend distances beyond 1000m.
Warning! Do not use APC (Angle Physical Contact) Connectors! If inserted into an SFP+, APCs
may damage the SFP+.
Handling Fiber Optic Cable
CLASS 1 LASERS do not require any special precautions under conditions of normal use.
SFP
Modules
Fiber-Optic Cables
Class 1 Lasers
Unlike copper cabling, fiber optic cable requires special handling. A small bit of dust or a scratch on the ferrule tip can attenuate the optical signal so that it becomes unusable.
Warning! The ends of the connectors (the ferrule) should never contact any foreign object,
including fingertips.
Warning! Minimum bend radius must be 3”.
Be careful not to pinch or kink the fiber when using ties.

Page 29
Installing Fiber into Input/Output Cards
Step 1: Grasp the LC connector of the fiber optic cable by the sides and remove the dust cap.
Warning! Laser in use! Do not look directly into the opening.
Step 2: Carefully insert the fiber connector into the SFP+ port until it locks into place.
Removing Fiber from Input/Output Cards
Step 1: The LC connector has a locking feature that can be released by depressing the latch-release tab
located on the top of the connector. With the tab depressed, slowly remove the cable by pulling the connector straight out of the SFP+ port.
Warning! Laser in use! Do not look directly into the opening.
Step 2: Immediately install a dust cap on the ferrule to protect the fiber tip and install a dust cap into the SFP if
another fiber is not immediately installed.
Connecting to Thinklogical Velocity Extenders
VX Matrix Switches are designed to work with any Thinklogical product designed with the MRTS technology (e.g. Velocity Extenders). VX Matrix Switches and Velocity Extenders are a new, unique class of cost-effective matrix switching and KVM extension designed for a variety of high-performance computing environments. Comprised of a fiber-in, fiber-out matrix switch and a fiber-optic KVM extender (with a transmitter and receiver), this complete system provides transparent and secure routing, switching and extension of video and high­speed data peripherals to remote destinations with ease.
BEFORE STARTING ANY PROCEDURE, IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY!
Connecting to the Receiver
The Velocity Receiver serves as the Destination (desktops, theaters, conference rooms, editing suites, control consoles, video walls, etc.). Depending on your configuration, your KMASS devices (audio, keyboard, mouse, etc.) are first connected to the Receiver using standard cables. Power can then be supplied to the unit. The Receiver then connects to the VX Matrix Switch SFP+ ports using fiber (Multi-mode fiber for distances up to 1000m; Single-mode fiber for distances beyond 1000m).

Set-Up
Note: Insure that all thumb screws are finger tight so that all the modules are properly held in the chassis.
1. Carefully remove the VX Matrix Switch from its shipping container. Inspect the VX Matrix Switch
to make certain that no damage occurred during shipment.
2. All I/O cards are installed at the factory to meet the customer’s specified configuration. Insure that the I/O cards are properly seated in the unit. All I/O cards have thumb screw retainers. All SFP+ Modules should have a dust plug installed. Leave them in until that port is in use. (Retain them for later use.)
3. After checking the I/O cards, inspect the upper part of the unit. There are two (VX40, 80, 160) or four (VX320 & 320Video/Audio) power supplies located in the upper chassis. Verify that the power supplies are secure in the chassis.
4. Located directly below the power modules is the fan tray which has thumb screws holding it in place. Verify that the fan tray is secure. Cooling is accomplished by three fans in the tray, air baffles in the chassis door and fans in each of the power supply units. Air is forced into the chassis from the fan tray which cools the vertically mounted I/O cards and the integrated circuits on the Backplane, as well as removing any heat generated by the power modules.
Page 37
®
Page 36
Warning! Do not open or remove the Front Door when the unit is powered. The door of each VX
Matrix Switch contains air baffles that are integral to the chassis’ cooling system. The Backplane Integrated Circuits may overheat when operating with the front door open or removed.
Note: When mounting the chassis in a rack, insure that the fans’ air flow is not restricted.
5. The temperature in the chassis is monitored in several locations. The power supplies have an
internal temperature sensor that is monitored constantly for any conditions that may indicate a problem. Other temperature sensors are mounted in the fan trays, on the Controller card(s), on the I/O cards, and on the Backplane.
Note: If any of these sensors detect an over temperature condition, power will be removed from
all sensitive components and the system will shut down.
6. As a further safeguard, all fan speeds are monitored and any fan speed that does not meet
specification will cause the unit to set an alarm condition.
Note: All failure conditions send out notifications prior to shut down. For a detailed list of the
alarm descriptions, see page 17.
7. When the VX Matrix Switch has been inspected and found to be in good condition, the
installation process can begin.
Order of Installation Events
Please refer to the Quick Start Guides included with your products for detailed instructions. VX Matrix Switch Quick Start Guides are also available in Appendix B, page 47.
How to Replace Modules
How to Install or Replace Input/Output Cards
Note: No shutdown is required prior to installing/replacing Input/Output Cards.
Step 1: Turn the two thumbscrews counterclockwise until they disengage from the chassis. Pull the card out
using both handles.
Warning! Do not pull on the thumbscrews when removing the module – damage may occur!
OR: If a blank panel is present, remove the blank panel from the desired location using the thumbscrews. Step 2: Place the new module upright so that the POWER LED is on the top. Grasp the module by
the handles or by the outer edge of the aluminum housing. 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 connector.
Warning! If the module does not slide into the connector, do not force it! Damage may occur.
Remove the card and start over.
Step 3: Once the module is completely seated, hand-tighten the thumbscrews.
Warning! Do not tighten the thumbscrews with a screwdriver.
Page 38

Page 37
How to Install or Replace a Controller Card
Note: When using a single Controller, the left or upper Controller slot is always Primary.
Note: Replacing the Active Controller Card will interrupt service.
When replacing a Controller Card in a system with redundant controllers you may remove the Controller that is not active (Active LED is off) without interrupting service.
Step 1: Before removing a Primary Controller that is active you should cause a Fail-over to the Back-up
Controller. This can be done by removing the LAN connection from the active Controller and waiting approxi­mately 20-50 seconds for the Back-up Controller to take control, as indicated by the Active LED. After the Primary Controller is removed and replaced (following the steps 2-5), the Primary Controller will re-take control of the system and become the Active Controller.
Step 2: Turn the thumbscrews counterclockwise until they disengage from the chassis. Pull the Controller Card out using both black handles.
Step 3: Place the new module upright so that the ACTIVE LED is on the top. Grasp the module by the handles or by the outer edge of the aluminum housing. The card should slide freely until it reaches the backplane connector. Use just enough force to firmly engage the card with the mating connector.
Warning! If the module does not slide easily into the connector, do not force it! Damage may
occur. Remove the card and start over.
Step 4: Once the module is completely seated, hand-tighten the thumbscrews.
Warning! Do not tighten the thumbscrews with a screwdriver.
Step 5: Replace the RJ45 CAT5 LAN cable connection and/or the RS232 cable connection.
How to Replace a Fan Tray
Each of the VX Matrix Switches uses three DC fans to move air horizontally through the enclosure. Be sure to not block the air vents on the front or rear of the unit and leave at least 2” of space on both sides.
Note: Be sure to leave adequate ventilation space on both sides of the units (2” minimum), especially if the transmitters or receivers (e.g. Extenders) are being stacked above or below the VX Matrix Switch.
Note: No shutdown is required prior to replacing the Fan Tray, but operating without fans for more than a few minutes is not recommended.
Step 1: Turn the four thumbscrews counterclockwise until they disengage from the chassis. Step 2: Pull the Fan Tray module out using both black handles. Step 3: Place the new module so that the aluminum housing is on the bottom. Hold the new Fan Tray by
the handles and slide the aluminum housing into the card guides.
Warning! Do not operate the unit for an extended period without a Fan Tray installed.
Step 4: Hand-tighten the thumbscrews.
Warning! Do not tighten the thumbscrews with a screwdriver.

How to Replace a Power Supply
Warning! Disconnect the power cord before proceeding!
Note: No shutdown is required prior to replacing a Power Supply.
The Power Modules are universal input 120-240VAC, 50-60Hz. Use the proper power cord for your region (supplied with the unit). Although the VX Matrix Switch functions properly with one power module, it is recommended that both modules be used, preferably connected to two independent power sources (for redundancy).
Step 1: Grasp the handle with one hand. Step 2: Slide the green tab to the left with the other hand. Step 3: Pull the Power Module out of the chassis. Step 4: Insert the new Power Module into the chassis and slide it in until it reaches the backplane connector.
The module should slide freely until it reaches the backplane connector. Use just enough force to firmly engage the card with the mating connector.
Warning! If the module does not slide easily into the connector, do not force it! Damage may
occur. Remove the module and start over.

Appendix D: Secure Applications
VX Matrix Switch Control
When used in a secure application, the VX Matrix Switch and External Computer (server) used to manage the Matrix Switch must be in a physically secure environment to which only trusted administrators have access. Similarly, the server used to manage the VX Matrix Switch must be physically protected and have suitable identification/authentication mechanisms to ensure that only trusted administrators have access.
Thinklogical’s VX Matrix Switch uses 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.
Restricted Switching
Restricted Switching provides multiple levels of security classification domains on the same VX Matrix Switch. Each destination must ensure that no unauthorized content is displayed or accessed, therefore, each input and output needs to be prioritized. Priorities can range from 1 to the total number of ports in the VX Matrix
Page 59
®
Page 58
Switch. An output can connect to an input with a priority greater than, or equal to, its priority. Thus, a priority level of 1 on an output can connect to any input (priority 1, 2, 3…).
The user must provide a table defining the priorities for each input and output of the switch matrix. This table is in the form of a comma separated value (csv) file. This file contains the values in three columns: Port Direction (i=input, o=output), Port Number and Port Priority. For example:
I/O Number Priority "i", 1, 1 "i", 2, 2 "i", 3, 3 "i", 4, 1 "i", 5, 3 "o", 1, 1 "o", 2, 3 "o", 3, 2 "o", 4, 4 "o", 5, 1
Output 1 can connect to ports 1-5. Output 2 can connect to ports 3 and 5. Output 3 can connect to ports 2, 3, and 5. Output 4 cannot connect to any ports. Output 5 can connect to ports 1-5.
Note that Port Direction (i or o) is in quotes and that the table must use only the following ASCII printable characters:
Double quotes (or speech marks), character code = 34 (") Lower case i character code = 105 (i) Lower case o character code = 111 (o) Comma character code = 44 (,) Carriage Return character code = 13 (CR) Line Feed character code = 10 (LF)
The VX Matrix Switch will interpret the Restricted Switching Table (csv file) during the boot-up. Any errors that occur during the Restricted Switching Table interpretation process will be logged in the messages file at the following location: var/log/messages
It is recommended that the Messages File be reviewed and any errors in the Restricted Switching Table be corrected before implementing multiple levels of security classification domains on the same VX Matrix Switch. It is also recommended that Restricted Switching be fully tested before implementing multiple levels of security classification domains on the same VX Matrix Switch.
The Restricted Switching Table files for the VX Matrix Switches are stored on the Controller Card at the following location: var/local/router/restrict/upstream.csv
var/local/router/restrict/downstream.csv
Restricted switching is disabled when Restricted Switching Table files are removed. By default, when there are no Restricted Switching Table files, all input and output ports will have a priority of 1. All VX Matrix Switches are shipped without Restricted Switching Table files stored on the Controller card and therefore do not restrict any connection.
Page 60
®
Page 59
Restricted Switching with VX Matrix Switches
Restricted Switching Priority Scheme
The following example shows a priority scheme for four levels of security managed by one VX 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.
Page 61
®
Page 60
Note: When using a Back-up Controller configuration, both controllers must have the same Restricted Switching Table file(s).
Partitioning
Partitions allow VX 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.
Example: VX80 Matrix Switch with four distinct partitions:
Four partitions set up for secure routing and extension applications. Signals are only capable of
transmitting and receiving within a single partition and not across partitions
The maximum number of partitions is the number of ports that make up the VX Matrix Switch (80, 160, 320,
640). A VX40 or VX80 Matrix Switch can be configured with up to 80 partitions, a VX160 up to 160, and so forth. There are also overlapping partition configurations.
The following example shows a VX80 Matrix Switch with an overlapping partition:
A VX80 with four partitions: Ports 5-10 are accessible to both partitions 2 and 3.
The user must provide a table defining the partitions. This table is in the form of a comma separated value (CSV) file located in /var/local/Matrix Switch/partition on the VX Matrix Switch. This file contains the port number and the partitions to which it belongs.
All ports not listed will default to partition 1. Ports can be manually added to partition 1.

Note: When using a Back-up Controller Card configuration, both controllers must have the same Partition table.
Administration Access
There are only two methods by which the administrator can access the VX Matrix Switch Controller Configurations:
1. Using the serial console directly connected to the VX Matrix Switch: It should be noted that, while no administrator password is required to use the serial console (by default), physical access to the Matrix Switch is required. Therefore, the Matrix Switch should be stored in a physically secure location to avoid unauthorized access. The serial console can be configured to require an administrator password that will assume the same security that is listed below, under “Password Security.”
2. Using SSH access: The Matrix Switch allows SSH connections to the Matrix Switch for management purposes. SSH sessions are authenticated using an encrypted password file.
3. Password Security: For security purposes, the Matrix Switch defaults to using the Message-Digest Algorithm (MD5) and shadow passwords. It is highly recommended that you do not alter these settings. If you select the older Data Encryption Standard (DES) format, passwords will be limited to eight alphanumeric characters (disallowing punctuation and other special characters) with a modest 56­bit level of encryption. The single most important thing you can do to protect the Matrix Switch is
create a strong password.
4. Creating Strong Passwords: The password can contain up to 127 characters and cannot contain a
space. MAKE THE PASSWORD AT LEAST EIGHT CHARACTERS LONG. The longer the password, the
more effective it will be. If you are using an MD5 password, it should be approximately 15 characters long. With DES passwords, use the maximum eight-character length.
MIX UPper AnD LowER CASE LETTERS. Passwords are case sensitive, so mixing will multiply the number of possible combinations.
MIX LETTER5 AND NUM8ERS within the password to enhance its strength. INCLUDE NON-ALPHANUMERIC CH@RACTER$. Special characters (& $ % >) and punctuation
marks (? “- !) increase the strength of a password.
Secure Application Examples
The Diagrams on pages 63-67 show each of the VX Matrix Switches 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 VX Matrix Switch, the computer server used to manage the Matrix Switch, and the Network Hub. The Network Hub is a dedicated network used only to connect the VX Matrix Switch to the computer server. This dedicated network does not connect to any other components and does not extend beyond the physically secure environment. The dedicated network connection may be replaced by a direct serial connection (RS-232) between the VX Matrix Switch and the computer server.
Note: The VX Matrix Switch and the computer server used to manage the Matrix Switch must be
protected according to the highest security classification of any component in the entire network application.
Note: The optical connections and DESTINATION receiver designated as Red Network must be
physically secure.

The TLX Matrix Switch can be configured to prevent accidental connection from the Red Network to the Black Network using the Restricted Switching feature. For example, the
TLX Matrix Switch Network Diagram should be configured with the following csv file:
Direction Number Priority
I 1 2 I 2 2 O 2 2 I 42 2 O 41 2 O 42 2 I 5 1 O 5 1 I 45 1 O 45 1
The following connection rules apply: SOURCE 2 can be connected only to DESTINATION 2 and SOURCE 1 can be connected to both DESTINATION 1 and DESTINATION 2.
The configuration of the Matrix Switch should be reviewed regularly to ensure that it continues to meet organizational security policies concerning:
▪ Changes in the Matrix Switch configuration ▪ Changes in the organizational security policy ▪ Changes in the threats presented from non-trusted network interfaces ▪ Changes in the administration and operation staff or the physical environment of the Matrix Switch

APPENDIX E: Touch Panel Configuration
Thinklogical supplies 5.7” and 9” touch panels. These are small, Linux computers that run a borderless version of the Chromium browser. On power up, they start the browser with the URL of the X4 server and load the page that’s been specified for them with X4’s GROUPS page.
Configuration:
By default, the touch panels are delivered with DHCP networking. In most cases, they will need to be made static. There are two ways to modify the configuration on a touch panel:
1. Use a USB keyboard connected directly to the touch panel and make any necessary changes directly on that panel.
2. Connect the touch panels to a network and log into them remotely. Both methods are described below. In both cases, you will first need to know the IP address of the web server and decide an appropriate IP
address of the touch panel(s) before configuring them.
Direct Configuration:
1. Attach the USB keyboard to a USB port on the Touch Panel
2. Press Ctrl - Alt - F1 on the Touch Panel to go into text mode
3. When the login prompt appears, login as root with password emac_inc
Remote Configuration: Each touch panel is shipped with DHCP enabled by default.
1. Attach one or more touch panels to a network with a DHCP server
2. Use "ssh" to access each touch panel in turn as in ssh root@192.168.7.112
Password: emac_inc
To set up the network:
1. Type cd /etc/network
2. Using vi, edit “interfaces”
3. In the section for eth0:
a. Modify the dhcp line to say “static”
b. Insert a line "address 192.168.13.161" (with the chosen IP address for this Touch Panel) c. Add "netmask 255.255.255.0" d. Save and exit

Page 69
The new interfaces file should look something like this after modification:
To set the browser to find the server: Edit /home/user/homepage to match your installation:
This is a one-line file. Change the IP address to match that of the web server (also called the “Control
Computer”) for your installation and remove “touch” from the line (if it is present).
It should look something like this when finished:
Save and exit The files have now been configured, but the Touch Panel will not use them until the next two steps are
performed:
The touch panel will now automatically load the page selected in the GROUPS page.
Page 71

Page 70
In the configuration shown above, the touchpanel with the IP address of 192.168.13.112 will load the startpage combi-m (or COMBI-M).
COMBI-M is a COMBI page with an additional MACRO button at the bottom right. This button lets the user also access the Macros page and then return to the COMBI page.
In ADMIN Stations we have made some source stations Takeable for the group “touch”:
As well as some destination stations:
In ADMIN Macros, we have made “mac 1” available to “touch”

Page 71
The touchscreen at 192.168.13.112 will now start up in this page:
and when the MACROS button at the bottom right is pressed, it will show this page:
The COMBI-M link at the top will return to the COMBI page.
