Master Connection
Mode
Master Connection Mode refers to the modes of communication used for connection to the
Master as specified via the SET CONNECTION Telnet command.
Auto Mode:
• This mode utilizes TCP communication. It looks for a matching System Number and attempts
to come on line with the first Master it sees with that System Number.
TCP URL Mode:
• TCP; the Master is specified via URL.
UDP URL Mode:
• UDP; the Master is specified via URL.
NDP Mode (Default):
• UDP; utilizes the NDP binding process to assign the DXLink Fiber unit (the physical device) to
a Master (or Virtual Master) via NetLinx Studio. Once bound, communications are conducted
via UDP.
For further information, see “Master Connection Modes” on page 108.
IR SEND_COMMAND
Mode
IR SEND_COMMAND Mode refers to displaying and setting the IR port active system settings
as IR, Serial, or Data modes.
GET MODE SEND_COMMAND:
• The GET MODE SEND_COMMAND reveals the active system (IR, Serial, or Data) settings.
SET MODE SEND_COMMAND:
• The SET MODE SEND_COMMAND changes the active system settings.
For further information, see “IR SEND_COMMANDs” on page 76.

Description
Scaling Mode
Scaling Mode refers to how the system alters or maintains a source device’s resolution as it is
passed along to the destination device. The Scaling Mode can be set on the DXLink Fiber RX
with the Scaling button (see page 50), or with SEND_COMMANDs (see page 68), or though
DGX Configuration Software when scaling is being done via an Enova DXLink Fiber Output
Board.
Auto Mode (Default):
• Auto Mode (SmartScale
®
) allows the destination device to choose the resolution it needs.
Manual Mode:
• Manual Mode allows the user to configure the resolution the video will display through a
destination device.
Bypass Mode:
• Bypass Mode allows the video signal to display over the destination device without altering
the signal’s resolution.
