3.3.3 MATRIX GRID
You can use a matrix grid for applications where the required number of ports is not sufficient or important connections
need to be made to several matrices to provide redundancy.
A matrix grid consists of one master matrix and at least one slave matrix. In its maximum configuration, it can consist
of up to 16 matrices.
To build a matrix grid, the grid matrices are interconnected by “Grid Lines.” In this case, the slave matrices can be connected directly
to the master matrix or between themselves.
When arranging the grid lines, various grid setups can be realized, for example: a ring setup, a hub and spoke setup or a fully
connected setup of matrices.
Grid lines can process signals bidirectional (Smart Connect). Per grid line, one KVM connection can be transmitted.
All switching operation will be exclusively performed through the Grid Master.
To configure the matrix grid, see see Section 4.15.
