Overview
Tie-Line Functionality
Tie-lines can be used to link different matrices, allowing Sources in one
matrix to be routed to Destinations in another matrix. Tie-lines that span
matrices are called system tie-lines. A typical use of a system tie-line is to
allow interconnection between different areas of a facility that have sepa
-
rate routing matrices.
Tie-lines can also operate within a single matrix, and these are called local
tie-lines. Typically a local tie-line is used to route signals to and from an
external processing device, like a standards converter.
A tie-line path that directly connects one matrix to another is called a single
hop tie-line. Multiple hop tie-line paths can also be created that use mul
-
tiple tie-lines to span more than one matrix (Figure 187).
Figure 187. Tie-Lines
A tie-line has an input (Source) side that connects to a Destination of the
sending matrix, and has an output (Destination) side that connects to a
