TLX Matrix Switch ASCII API V5 23 Rev. I, January 2019
Appendix A: Switch Status Broadcast
The API program will periodically broadcast the current switch connection map over the network. This
data may be used to keep external systems in sync with the switch. Previously, either the XGET or
XSAVE command was needed to obtain the connection map. In systems with many external controls
trying to stay synchronized to the Matrix Switch, the switch would spend a lot of its resources trying to
answer these status requests.
It is now possible to replace the use of 'broadcast' with the use of 'multicast'. The advantage of
using multicast over broadcast is that multicast packets will be routed past the local subnet,
whereas broadcast packets are not routed.
You may configure the frequency of these messages or disable them altogether.
More information about this feature can be found in the manuals Matrix_Switch_Interfaces and
Manual_Configuring_the_TLX_ASCII_Interface.
