APPENDIX C: Secure Applications
TLX Matrix Switch Control
When used in a secure application, the Matrix Switch and External Computer (server) used to manage the
system must be in a physically secure environment to which only trusted administrators have access. Similarly,
the server used to manage the Matrix Switch must be physically protected and have suitable
identification/authentication mechanisms to ensure that only trusted administrators have access.
Thinklogical’s TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switches use 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.
Note: CATx Matrix Switching applications do not offer an EAL4 rated level of security. CATx is
not available with the TLX48 2RU, TLX80, TLX160, TLX640 or TLX1280.
