Rev. B, April, 2016 

THE NETWORK INTERFACES 

A TLX48 uses up to three IP addresses.

 The Primary Control Card uses address X and address X+100. 

The Secondary Control Card uses address X+1 and will take over address X in the event of a failure in the 
Primary  Control  Card.  These  addresses  are  set  by  an  external  DIP  switch.  (See: 

TLX48  DIP  Switch 

Settings

, page 16.) 

The primary’s IP address can be set from 15 to 45. 

The default subnet used by the 

TLX48  is  192.168.13.xxx.

  The  user  may  use  their  own  subnet  by  reconfiguring  the  switch

’s  network 

startup.  

This procedure is detailed in

How_To_Change_A_TLX_Matrix_Switch’s_IP_Address.pdf

 

The TLX48 uses several network ports for control and status. Port 17567 accepts commands to control 
the switch.  

The command API is described in the manual

TLX_Matrix_Switch_ASCII_API_V5.pdf 

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 the manual:

 

TLX_Switch_Interfaces.pdf 

1.

 

Switch connection status

 (broadcast over port 17564 every few seconds) 

  The primary CPU IP address 

  Upper or Lower chassis flag 

  First port number in this block 

  Last port number in this block 

  'N' port number values 

2.

 

Port settings

 (UDP port 17565, TLX48 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.

 

Alarm, Inventory and Power Supply Status

 (TCP port 17600) 

  State of the alarm contacts 

  Card Inventory 

  Power Supply Status (internal TL use only) 

  Switch card temperature readings 

5.

 

I/O card data

 (TCP ports 17601 through 17640, 1 port per I/O card) 

  SFP installed bits 

  SFP TxDisable bits 

  SFP TxFault bits 

  SFP LOS bits 

 I/O card type 

 I/O card temperature 

 SFP serial ID data 

 SFP Diagnostic data 

6.

 

Service Request (LOS) Signaling

 (UDP port 17560) 

The TLX48 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 TLX48 broadcasts an 'Attention Request' message over the network. This message 
contains the IP address of the TLX48 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, TLX48's primary IP address 

  16-bits, 0 for the Upper (or only) Switch chassis, 1 for the Lower Switch chassis (in some models) 

  16-bits, port number (list starts from 1, not 0) 

  16-bits, key code in bits 0 

– 7, 0x00 and 0xff are ignored
