Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver

DXLink Transmitter USB SEND_COMMANDs

On the DXLink Transmitter, USB SEND_COMMANDs are sent to Port 5.

DXLink Receiver USB SEND_COMMANDs

On the DXLink Receiver, USB SEND_COMMANDs are sent to Port 5.

USB SEND-COMMANDs (Transmitter)

Command

Description

?USB_HID_SERVICE

Requests the status for
the USB HID pass
through setting (Enable or
Disable).

Syntax:

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'?USB_HID_SERVICE'"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND dvTX,"'?USB_HID_SERVICE'"

Returns a COMMAND of the form:

USB_HID_SERVICE-<ENABLE/DISABLE>

USB_HID_SERVICE

Sets the USB HID pass
through to Enable or
Disable.

Note:

When enabled, the USB port addressed by D:P:S is running in auto switching mode.

Syntax:

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'USB_HID_SERVICE-<ENABLE|DISABLE>'"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND dvTX,"'USB_HID_SERVICE-ENABLE'"

Note:

This command persists through power cycling.

USB SEND-COMMANDs (Receiver)

Command

Description

?USB_HID_ROUTE

Requests the IP address
or hostname of the host
device (Transmitter)
sending USB keyboard/
mouse data to the
Receiver.

Syntax:

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'?USB_HID_ROUTE'"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND dvRX,"'?USB_HID_ROUTE'"

Returns a COMMAND of the form:

USB_HID_ROUTE-<IP address or hostname>

USB_HID_ROUTE

Set the IP address or
hostname of the host
device (Transmitter) that
will be sending USB
keyboard/mouse data to
the Receiver.

Note:

When a hostname is specified, a maximum of 50 characters can be used.

Syntax:

SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,"'USB_HID_ROUTE-<IP address or hostname>'"

Example:

SEND_COMMAND dvRX,"'USB_HID_ROUTE-<192.168.1.5>'"

Note:

To eliminate the connection, specify 0.0.0.0 as the IP address. To redirect to a new

host device (Transmitter), send the new IP address or hostname.
