Scope
This document describes the functionality of Thinklogical’s® System Management Portfolio 2.0, also
known as SMP2, a managed configuration and control system for Thinklogical’s VX, MX and TLX line
of Matrix Switches. (See note, below.)
Introduction
Thinklogical’s® System Management Portfolio 2.0, or SMP2, includes the four components
below, available in 6G (VX) and 10G (TLX) and in Multi-mode and Single-mode varieties:
▪ SMP2 Software: Matrix Switch-control application that runs on the SMP Appliance and the SMP
Module. (pg. 8)
▪ The SMP Appliance is a 19” rack-mount unit that runs Debian Linux software. Like the SMP Module,
it communicates with the Matrix Switch and other components to control system operation, but also
features two Ethernet hubs and monitoring connections to the Matrix Switch and an OSD (On Screen
Display) port (pg. 9). The SMP Appliance also supports Overlay (pg. 46).
▪ The SMP Module runs Debian Linux software. It communicates with the Matrix Switch and other
components to control system operation. (pg. 12)
▪ The SMP Client runs Debian Linux software and a Chrome browser. It provides user-customized
OSD (On Screen Display) functionality to the user’s configuration. (pg. 12)
Note: SMP2 is NOT supported on the VX40, VX160 or VX320 Matrix Switches due to
hardware restrictions.
