SYSTEM LOG FILES SUPPORT
The switch records system events into files located in the directory
/var/log/.
If you wish to preserve
log files, you may redirect the logs to another system(s). This is a standard feature of Linux's rsyslogd
program. Redirection is enabled by entries in
rsyslog
configuration files located in
/etc/rsyslog.d/
Details about syslog configuration file entries may be found at:
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/
SERIAL/RS-232 INTERFACES
The TLX24 has two RS-232 serial ports.
One is for the Linux command line interface (labeled
CONSOLE), and the other is for the switch's ASCII command interface (labeled RS232.

THE DIGITAL CROSSPOINT SWITCH
The Digital Crosspoint Switch is a non-blocking asynchronous switch that can connect any input to any
output of Thinklogical’s TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switches. Video and Data signals are routed in both
directions and the data stream is de-multiplexed at the receiver to deliver uncompressed, high resolution
video, audio and peripheral data at the end-
user’s workstation.
