Tie-Line Description
Tie-lines can be used to link different matrices, allowing Sources in one
matrix to be routed to Destinations in another matrix. Each tie-line has a
Source Name and a Destination Name that defines the signal path. A tie-
line Source is actually a Destination of the first matrix, and the tie-line Des
-
tination is a Source of the second matrix. Routes that employ more than one
tie-line are called multi-hop tie-lines (
Figure 12).
Figure 12. Tie-Lines
Once configured on an Encore system, actual tie-line operation is trans-
parent to the operator. The Tie-Line Manager application automatically
creates and releases tie-line paths as needed.
