Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual
The following table lists the modes and the blink patterns for the Program port’s LED indicators which are associated with
each mode. These blink patterns are not evident until the unit is powered.

"Normal" is typically off. However, this state may change depending on external inputs.
Attaching an AxLink Device
The CPU board has an AxLink port and an adjacent AxLink LED on its right. The AxLink port is a 4-pin mini-Phoenix (female)
captive-wire connector. This port allows the integrated Master to support AMX AxLink devices.
The AxLink port can be used to supply power to downstream AxLink-compatible devices as long as the power required
does not exceed 2 Amps .
AxLink LED
A green AxLink LED indicates AxLink data activity. "Off" indicates either no power or the Master is not functioning properly.
When the AxLink port is operating normally, LED blink patterns include:
1 blink
per second – Normal operation.
3 blinks
per second – AxLink bus error. Check all AxLink bus connections.
Using the AxLink Connector for Data and Power
To supply data and power to an AxLink compatible device, wire the AxLink connector as shown in FIG. 28:
AxLink Device Numbering
For NetLinx programming purposes, each AxLink device must be assigned a unique number to locate that device on the
bus. The range for AxLink device numbers is 1-255. AMX best practices requires assigning device numbers in three groups:
Axcess Control Cards
: 1 - 95
Axcess Bus Boxes
: 96 - 127
Axcess Panels/Receivers
: 128 - 255
NOTE:
If you are familiar with binary, start at Step 3 and set the device’s DIP switch toggles accordingly (zero = all up;
255 = all down).
