Redundancy and Network Requirements
A
Back-up Control Card (sometimes called a Secondary or Fail-Over Control Card) is optional
and
ensures uninterrupted functionality if the Primary Control Card ever fails or needs to be replaced. Two
network requirements need to be in place for a switchover to occur:
The Back-up Control Card must have a LAN connection
to the server with the IP address as specified in
the “
TLX320 DIP Switch Settings
” section above. Without this connection, the Back-up Control Card will
NOT take control of the Switch under any circumstances.
The Back-up Control Card must also have a LAN connection
that allows it to communicate with the
Primary Control Card.
Note:
It is important that the Network connections be tested. The user should log into the
Back-up Control Card via SSH or Console port and ping the server as well as the Primary
Control Card to verify the connections.
External Control CPU Minimum Requirements
The External Control CPU must meet the following minimum requirements
(including requirements
for using Thinklogic
al’s System Management Portfolio)
:
•
RAM
(minimum):
Linux:
1GB
Windows:
4GB
OSX:
4GB
•
VIDEO:
Works with all video adapters. (Not required if the computer is used as a headless server.)
•
KEYBOARD/MOUSE:
Works with any keyboard/mouse/touchpad. (Not required if the computer is
used as a headless server.)
•
NETWORK:
One port minimum, although two ports are recommended for security considerations.
•
DISK SPACE:
Thinklogical programs typically use less than 40 MB.
•
SERIAL PORT:
1 optional RS-232 serial port (Crestron/AMX serial access)
A
Back-up (sometimes called a Secondary) Controller Card is optional
to ensure uninterrupted
functionality if the Primary Controller Card fails or needs to be replaced. The
Primary Controller Card
should always be in the upper controller slot
.
The Back-up Controller must have a LAN connection
that allows it to communicate with both the Primary Controller and a server with the IP address
192.168.13.9
. Without this interface, the Back-up Controller cannot take control of the matrix switch.
Pluggable SFP+ Modules
Each Input and Output card contains rows of SFP+ modules that serve as the
fiber-optic couplers for the fiber cables to and from the Thinklogical transmitter
and receiver extenders. Individual cards can be removed for easy access to the
SFP+ modules.
The SFP+ Optical Module is a 10Gbs Short-Wavelength Transceiver designed
for use in bi-directional Fiber-optic Channel links. The modules are hot-pluggable
and operate on 3.3VDC.
Always use
dust caps
to protect against dust and damage when a fiber-optic
connector is not attached to its coupling device (fiber-optic equipment, bulkheads, etc.). All
Thinklogical SFPs are fully populated with dust plugs upon shipment.
Note:
It is good practice to immediately install dust plugs in unused SFP modules and on
the ferrules of unconnected fiber-optic cables.
