7.9 Configuring Matrix Cascading
This simple method of cascading allows a switchable connection between two matrices via so called Tie
Lines. The Matrix Cascading does not require Bundle 4.
This kind of configuration may become necessary if the number of ports in the entire system has to be
increased or if certain important connections should be distributed to several matrices due to reasons of
redundancy.
The Tie Lines are unidirectional and can only be used in one direction according to their configuration. For
a bidirectional use of the cascading, you have to configure opposite Tie Lines.
To connect Tie Lines to the matrices, you first have to create intended Cascade CON Devices and
Cascade CPU Devices that have to be switched within the cascaded environment.
Lines will only be connected after finishing the configuration.
