Configuring Tie-Lines
Tie-Line Manager Application Access
The Tie-Line Manager application needs to be accessible, which is accom-
plished with System Manager and by enabling the application in the web
page of the System Controller running Tie-Line Manager.
Create Tie-Lines in the Router Controllers
While Tie-Line Manager is used to configure tie-lines, the Router Control
Applications are used to create them, because system tie-lines are paired
Sources and Destinations between different matrices.
You will need to decide which matrix connectors will be used for your tie-
lines, and what names you will use to identify each tie-line. A descriptive
name that includes the matrices or Areas each tie-line spans can help you
keep things straight during configuration.
The tie-line Source configuration is set by configuring a Destination on the
Router Controller of the Source Area to be a tie-line. Similarly, the tie-line
Destination configuration is set by configuring a Source on the Router Con
-
troller of the Destination Area to be a tie-line, with the same name (see
Figure 197 and Figure 198).
