TLX Matrix Switch Port Numbering
When making or breaking connections on a TLX Matrix Switch, it is important to identify the
'direction' of the connection. In this context, connection direction refers to data flow from the
extender transmitter to the extender receiver, or receiver to transmitter.
• Transmitter to Receiver data flow is called an 'upstream to downstream' connection.
• Receiver to Transmitter data flow is a 'downstream to upstream' connection (sometimes
referred to as the 'backchannel').
The port numbering schemes for each of the TLX Matrix Switch models are shown below.
TLX12, TLX24, TLX48, TLX80, TLX160, TLX320, TLX640 and TLX1280 connections can be made
between any ports on any card.
The TLX12
The TLX24
The TLX48
TLX48 I/O Cards are verticle cards mounted horizontally.
Port numbers begin at the bottom card and start from the right side.
