Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Network Setup Issues
The instructions below can be used for first time setup of DXLink Modules on a network with no NetLinx
Master (integrated or standalone).
Note:
Before setting up the network, we recommend plugging all required Ethernet cables into the
network before applying power to the DXLink Modules.
To set the IP, connection, and device parameters on a DXLink Module:
1.
Set the DIP switch on the DXLink Module to:
#1 and #3 Toggles – ON
#2 and #4 Toggles – OFF
2.
Attach the DXLink Module via its ICS LAN 10/100 port to the network or PC.
3.
Power up the DXLink Module.
The DXLink Module will get a DHCP address or default to 169.254.2.2 (or if the module is in
Static IP Mode, the address will be 192.168.1.2).
4.
Establish a Telnet connection to the DXLink Module and set up the network parameters using the
following three commands:
SET IP
SET CONNECTION
SET DEVICE
5.
Enter
REBOOT
.
Note:
If you cannot locate the DXLink Module in the Online Tree, you can reset the factory default by
holding the ID button during power up until the LEDs blink in unison and then releasing the ID button.
This will revert the DXLink Module to DHCP mode. Start again at Step 1 above.
Technical Support
If this manual has not satisfactorily answered your questions regarding the DXLink Transmitters and
Receivers or they are not operating as expected, please contact your AMX representative or technical
support. Have the serial numbers for the modules ready. If the modules are connected to a switcher, locate
the serial number for the switcher too.* We recommend recording the serial numbers in an easily
accessible location.
