Installation and Setup
39
Instruction Manual – DXLink Fiber™ Transmitters and Receivers, Duplex
Setting DIP Switch #1 to Enable/Disable Access to ICS LAN 10/100 Port
The #1 Toggle is used for enabling/disabling network activity over the physical ICS LAN 10/100 port. It does not affect
network activity over the DXLink Fiber connection. (For SEND_COMMANDs used to disable/enable ICS LAN
functionality, see page 84.)
Tip:
Common setup scenarios and their DIP switch settings are provided in a table on page 40.
#1 Toggle Settings
OFF
(default) – When the #1 Toggle is set to OFF, network activity over the ICS LAN 10/100 port is
disabled.
ON
– When the #1 Toggle is set to ON, network activity over the ICS LAN 10/100 port is enabled.
Toggle #1 Set to ON
When a Transmitter or Receiver is connected to a DXLink Fiber input or output on an Enova DGX Digital Media
Switcher, the switcher provides a network connection allowing the Transmitter or Receiver to appear in the OnLine Tree
in NetLinx Studio (#3 Toggle
must
be set to ON). For connecting the Transmitter or Receiver to other equipment using
the ICS LAN 10/100 port, the #1 Toggle must be set to ON.
Setting DIP Switch #2
The #2 Toggle is reserved for future functionality.
Be sure that it is set to OFF.
Setting DIP Switch #3 for Network Connectivity
The #3 Toggle is used for enabling/disabling network connectivity of the DXLink Fiber Transmitter or Receiver. If
enabled it allows the Transmitter or Receiver to be configured to connect to a NetLinx Central Controller (used for
controlling the DXLink unit and allowing Ethernet traffic).
Tip:
Common setup scenarios and their DIP switch settings are provided in a table on the next page.
#3 Toggle Settings
OFF
(default) – When the #3 Toggle is set to OFF, the Transmitter or Receiver will not try to connect to the
network and will not acquire an IP address.
ON
– When the #3 Toggle is set to ON, the Transmitter or Receiver will attempt to connect to the network via
DHCP or static IP, depending on how the unit has been set up (see page 49). The Transmitters and Receivers
will not display in NetLinx Studio and will not accept commands or queries unless the #3 Toggle is ON.
Note:
After the #3 Toggle is set to ON, a network connection is established, and the NetLinx Studio screen is
refreshed, Transmitters and Receivers display in the OnLine Tree as Unbound NDP (Network Detect Proxy)
Devices. To facilitate IRL and KIT file transfers, they can be bound to the integrated NetLinx Master in the
switcher or to another NetLinx Master. A Virtual NetLinx Master can also be used for file transfers.
Setting DIP Switch #4
The #4 Toggle is reserved for future functionality.
Be sure that it is set to OFF.
Caution:
Because the DXLink Fiber connection carries network activity passed from the switcher, do not
connect the ICS LAN 10/100 port on the Transmitter or Receiver to the same LAN as the switcher because a
network loop will result. For information on avoiding network loops, see page 38.
