Orion X Installation and Operations Manual
Cascading
For applications exceeding the number of available ports, the system can be extended by cascading.
In this case, the Orion X devices are connected by so-called "tie lines". The tie lines are dynamically
configured to support connections in both directions.
To access cascaded matrices from a console, one of the matrices has to be configured as sub matrix.
