Figure 76. Setting Up Matrix Cascading Through the Java Tool
1. Connect to the Master Matrix and then select Activate Online Configuration Mode.
2. Select Definition > EXT Units in the task area and click the New button. This opens a popup
window.
3. If the Tie Line should be directed from the Sub Matrix to the Master Matrix, select Cascading CON
Unit in the Choose Extender Type selection box. On the other hand, if the Tie Line should be
directed from the Sub Matrix to the Master Matrix, select Cascading CPU Unit in the Choose
Extender Type selection box.
4. Enter an appropriate extender name in the Name field.
5. Enter the port number where the Tie Line is to be connected into the Port field.
6. Confirm the settings by clicking the Apply button.
7. If a Cascading CON Unit was created, select Definition > CON Devices in the task area of the
master matrix and press the New button. A switchable CON Device will be created.
8. If a Cascading CPU Unit was created, select Definition > CPU Devices in the task area of the
Master Matrix and press the New button. A switchable CPU Device will be created.
9. Enter an appropriate name for the extender into the Name field.
10. Assign the previously configured Extender Unit to the newly created Device by moving the Unit’s
definition from the Extender available field to the Extender assigned field, and save the settings
by pressing the Apply button.
11. Connect to the Sub Matrix and select Activate Online Configuration Mode. Repeat steps 1 to 10.
12. Select System > System Data in the task area of the Sub Matrix and activate the Sub Matrix
option. The OSD of the Sub Matrix will be only accessible by using the keyboard command <'Hot
Key'>, <s>, <o>.
13. Restart all I/O boards on which any Cascading CON or CPU Units have been configured, or
alternatively restart the matrix switches.
14. Now connect the Tie Lines to the matrix ports. Ensure that each Cascading CON on one matrix is
connected to a Cascading CPU on the other matrix to achieve the ability to switch between the
two matrices.
The Matrix Cascading is now configured and can be used. Additional Tie Lines can be configured as
needed. The use of cascading is described in the Operations section.
