Additional Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX Functionality
The following items are on left edge of Wallplate TX and on front of Decor Wallplate TX.
Reset Button
The Reset button resets the unit’s CPU (acts like a power cycle soft reboot).
Program Port
This port (USB mini-B connector) supports DGX Configuration Software for programming a customer VGA EDID.
ID Pushbutton
The ID Pushbutton places the unit in ID Mode for setting the NetLinx ID (device only) and provides additional
functionality, such as placing the unit in Static IP Mode or DHCP Mode (see page 67).
Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX – Indicator LEDs
The Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX receive power from a switcher through the DXLink (RJ-45)
connection to a DXLink Input Board in the switcher. They can also receive power via either PDXL-2
(FG1090-170) or PS-POE-AT-TC (FG423-84).
Important:
We recommend determining the power budget to maintain power redundancy for the system
(see page 41).
Tip:
If the Wallplate TX is installed in a location where it is difficult to check the LEDs on the bottom edge,
slide a white piece of paper or a small mirror under the edge to view LED status.
* The LEDs for Digital Video, Analog Video, and Audio each indicate the configured state of the connectors, not
necessarily the presence of signals through the Wallplate TX or Decor Wallplate TX.
Important:
If the indicator LEDs for the Wallplate TX or Decor Wallplate TX do not respond with a normal
display as stated in the table above, check all of the connections and the suggestions in the “Troubleshooting”
chapter (see page 99) before contacting technical support (see page 102).
