Tieline2 Path Table
The ‘Tieline2 Path’ table (under the ‘Views’ pane) lists all the tieline paths of your configuration.
This is a sample ‘Tieline2 Path’ page:
The tieline paths are all the possible paths that signals can traverse through the network of
tielines available.
The tieline paths are generated (only) when you write your configuration to the system
controller. If you have added tielines since the last write to the system controller, the tieline
paths table remains incomplete (or even empty) until you execute the write.
A tieline path represents a single signal type. For instance, if a single cable connects an HD
router (with 5 different signal types) and an SD router (with 2 signal types), that cable represents
10 paths. The number of tieline paths in the ‘Tieline2 Path’ table increases explosively with the
number of cables, the number of signal types, and the number of hops possible in your network
of tielines. The table lists all 1-hop paths, 2-hop paths, and so on to the maximum number of
hops in your system.
Fortunately, you will rarely have to analyze the tieline paths (in this table) in any great detail. If
you want to review the formulas for calculating the number of tieline paths, please refer to
The table lists all tieline paths and shows the hop count and cost for each. There are 3 sections in
the page:
