TX Matrix Plus Control Board Description

You can install up to two control boards in the TX Matrix Plus Router. Control boards install into the upper front of the chassis in the slots labeled CB0 and CB1 (referred to as CB-0 and CB-1). A Routing Engine installs directly into a slot on each control board. The control boards can not function if a Routing Engine is not present.

• Determining Routing Engine mastership
• Controlling power and reset for the other TX Matrix Plus components
• Monitoring and controlling fan speed
• Monitoring system status.

If the TX Matrix Plus router contains a redundant host subsystem, one TXP-CB functions as the master and the other as its backup. If the master fails or is removed, the backup restarts and becomes the master.

The TX Matrix Plus router supports the TXP-CB.
