Rev. E, Oct., 2019
THE NETWORK INTERFACES
The default subnet used by the TLX12 is 192.168.13.xxx.
Users may change to their own subnet by
reconfiguring the switch
’s network startup.
This is detailed in the document
:
Manual_
How_To_Change_A_TLX_Matrix_Switch’s_IP_Address
The switch uses several network ports for control and status. Port 17567 accepts commands to control
the switch.
The command API is described in the document
:
Manual_TLX_Matrix_Switch_ASCII_API_V5
There are other ports that can be read to access system configuration and operating data. The actual
data format varies by model and is described in the following sections. There are five blocks of data
available for reading.
These ports are documented in:
Manual_TLX_Matrix_Switch_Interfaces
1.
Switch connection status
(broadcast over port 17564 every few seconds)
•
The primary CPU IP address
•
First port number in this block
•
Last port number in this block
•
'N' port number values
2.
Port settings
(UDP port 17565, matrix switch localhost only)
•
Port output level value
•
Port input enable status
•
Input port number (big-endian format)
3.
Hardware sensor status
(TCP port 17566)
•
Reserved for future use.
4.
Inventory and Power Supply Status
(TCP port 17600)
•
Card Inventory
•
Power Supply Status (internal TL use only)
•
Switch card temperature readings
5.
I/O data
(TCP port 17601)
Refer to the document:
Manual_TLX_Matrix_Switch_Interfaces
6.
Service Request (LOS) Signaling
(UDP port 17560)
The TLX12 10G Matrix Switch can broadcast a message over the network when a remote receiver
requests attention. When enabled, the receiver will toggle its TX pin, causing a LOS (loss of signal)
event to occur at the switch. When detected, the switch broadcasts an 'Attention Request' message over
the network. This message contains the IP address of the switch and the port number that detected the
request. It is left up to an external system to detect, decode and act upon this request.
•
32-bits, switch 's primary IP address
•
16-bits, set to 0
•
16-bits, port number (list starts from 1, not 0)
•
16-bits, key code in bits 0 - 7, 0x00 and 0xff are ignored
