Installing DTV-RX02-HD Receivers

DTV-RX02-HD Receivers receive TDS broadcasts from DTV-TX03-US Transmitters (via 
Ethernet), and pass the signal to the end display-device via standard A/V connectors. DTV 
Receivers do not connect directly to the Transmitters. Rather, they connect to Transmitters 
indirectly via the LAN (using a network switch).

One DTV-RX02-HD Receiver is required for each display device. The Receivers are 

designed to be mounted on or near the display devices.

Each DTV-RC01 remote controller is associated with a Receiver via options in the 

TDS Configuration Manager. See the 

AMX TDS Operation/Reference Guide

 for 

instructions.

Applying Power to the Receivers

Each DTV-RX02-HD Receiver receives 12 VDC power via the 12VDC POWER connector 
on the rear panel (FIG. 3). 

Note

: This connector is intended to be used only with the provided power supply.

Connecting DTV-RX02-HD Receivers to the Network

Use standard (Cat5/5e/6 UTP) network cable to connect the DTV-RX02-HD Receivers to a 
network switcher. DTV-RX02-HD Receivers feature standard A/V connectors to deliver the 
incoming TV signal to the display device (FIG. 4). 

Setting the Receiver’s IP Address via the RS 232 Port

In most cases, all setup and configuration for both Transmitters and Receivers is done via 
the Digital TV Configuration Manager. However, the Receiver’s IP Address can also be 
specified using a local command line interface, accessible via the RS 232 (Serial) port.
In order to configure the network settings via the RS 232 Port, the Receiver must be placed 
in Command mode.
To place the Receiver in Command mode, press ’Enter’ while the unit is booting up. 
To reboot, re-cycle power to the unit by disconnecting and re-connecting the 12VDC 
POWER connector on the rear panel. 
Use the 

setip lan 

command to configure the network settings: 

Note

: The default baud rate is 

115200

.

Note

: All DTV Transmitters and Receivers must have an assigned 

IP

 

Address

Network

 

Mask

, and 

Gateway

 

Address

 in order for the DTV system to work correctly. This applies to 

units that utilize DHCP and to units that have been assigned Static IP addresses. If you are 
using DHCP, verify that these address assignments are provided by the DHCP Server.

Configuring DTV-RX02-HD Receivers

DTV Receivers are configured via the Digital TV Configuration Manager (see below). 

Digital TV Configuration Manager

The DTV-MA01 TDS Management Appliance features a built-in web console called the 

Digital TV Configuration Manager

. The Digital TV Configuration Manager allows you to 

configure the Receiver and all Transmitters in the TDS solution via a web browser on any 
PC that has access to the DTV-MA01 in the TDS system.
These instructions assume that the TDS System has been installed, and that the 
DTV-MA01 and a PC is connected to the LAN.

Accessing the Digital TV Configuration Manager

1.

On any PC that has access to the LAN to which the DTV-MA01 is connected, open a 
web browser and enter the following default URL to access the TDS Configuration 
Pages (on the DTV-MA01):

http://

<

IP Address assigned to the DTV-MA01

>

:8080/TDS/web/TxNetworkPage.xml

2.

Press enter to be prompted for the default 

User Name

 and 

Password

 for the DTV-

MA01:

Default 

User Name

: "

amxdtv

" (case-sensitive)

Default 

Password

: "

admin

"

 

(case-sensitive)

Note

: The User Name and Password can be changed via options in the System 

Setup page (in the Digital TV Configuration Manager). See the AMX TDS Operation 
Reference Guide for details.

3.

Press 

OK

 to proceed to the Digital TV Configuration Manager. The initial view is of 

the 

Transmitter Setup

 page (FIG. 5). 

.

The command buttons along the top of the page provide access to the main areas of the 
Digital TV Configuration Manager:

Rx Setup

 - Click to configure DTV Receivers

External AV

 - Click to add and configure external AV devices to be included in the 

TDS system
