CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURATION
4.14 MATRIX CASCADING
This simple method of cascading allows a switchable connection between two matrices via Tie Lines.
The Matrix Cascading does not require Bundle 4.
This kind of configuration may become necessary if the number of ports in the entire system has to be increased or if certain
important connections should be distributed to several matrices because of redundancy.
The Tie Lines are unidirectional and can only be used in one direction according to their configuration. For bidirectional use
of cascading, you have to configure opposite Tie Lines.
To connect Tie Lines to the matrices, you have to create intended Master/Slave CON and Master/Slave CPU Devices
that have to be switched within the cascaded environment.
You have the following options to configure Matrix Cascading:

GENERAL PREPARATION

 Select Configuration > EXT Units in the main menu of the master matrix.
