NOTE: 

If indicator lights do not respond with a normal display as stated in the following 

table, check power connections and see the troubleshooting information in the manual 

before contacting technical support.

Establishing a LAN Connection

The Enova DGX Switcher has an integrated NetLinx Central Control Processor with the 

server connection via the LAN 100/1000 port on the right-hand side of the CPU.

IMPORTANT: 

(1) Enova DGX Switchers use DHCP by default. (2) Do not connect the 

LAN 100/1000 port on Enova DGX Switcher directly to a PC. It will not work.

Cable Requirements for the LAN Connection

Connect the LAN 100/1000 port on the Enova DGX Switcher directly to a LAN 

(network) with an RJ-45 cable (crossover or straight-through; port automatically 

adjusts). A DHCP capable server 

must

 be in the network.

To connect an Enova DGX Switcher to a LAN:

1.

If the system is not already powered, apply power according to the directions 

starting in the lower right-hand column on the first page.

2.

Insert one end of an RJ-45 link cable into the LAN 100/1000 port.

3.

Connect the other end of the RJ-45 link cable to a LAN hub or switch. 

The network will automatically assign a DHCP IP address.

4.

Check the indicator LEDs on the LAN 100/1000 port (FIG. 5 right).

NOTE: 

The Program port can be used to establish a connection from the integrated 

Master to a PC for NetLinx Studio control.

IMPORTANT: 

The ICS LAN port on the CPU is for communication via Telnet of endpoint 

devices connected to the integrated Master in Auto-setup Mode. The ICS LAN allows the 

DGX to provide Private IP addresses to all connected endpoints while only consuming a 

single IP address on the Public LAN. Please note, however, that the ICS LAN port serves 

DHCP addresses to any connected device. If the ICS LAN is inadvertently connected to the 

Public LAN, devices also on the Public LAN may experience DHCP address conflicts.

Confirming Board Versions

Enova DGX enclosures and boards typically ship with the latest firmware available. If the 

firmware on any board installed in the enclosure does not match the firmware version 

the enclosure expects, a firmware mismatch occurs. To resolve a firmware mismatch, 

the latest available firmware .kit file (which contains firmware for both boards and 

enclosure) must be sent to the enclosure.

To confirm board versions:

1.

Launch NetLinx Studio and connect to the DGX Master.

2.

Open the OnLine Tree tab, right-click in the Workspace Bar field and select Refresh 

System Online Tree.

3.

Expand the 5002 device and confirm compatible board versions (or mismatch).

4.

If a mismatch is present, send the latest firmware .kit file to the enclosure.

To send a firmware .kit file to the enclosure:

1.

Navigate to your system’s product page and download and unzip the “Enova DGX 

100 Series Enclosure Firmware” .zip file.

2.

Launch NetLinx Studio and navigate to the OnLine Tree.

3.

Right-click on the 5002 device and select Firmware Transfer.

4.

Click the Browse button and navigate to the downloaded file target directory.

5.

Select the file for the Enova DGX from the Files list. Click Send.
a.   During the switcher’s upgrade process, the 5002 device stays offline and the 

control panel and System Configuration interface (System/Devices/Switcher 

Update Status) display upgrade status messages.

b.   Once the upgrade is complete, the 5002 device comes back online and the 

System Configuration interface upgrade status reports that the system is 

rebooting.

System Setup via the System Configuration Interface

The System Configuration interface (onboard web pages) provides simplified setup and 

configuration of inputs, outputs, and endpoints, and complete switching, as well as 

status functionality.

IMPORTANT: 

The System Configuration interface requires a browser running HTML5. 

Minimum web browser requirements are: Google Chrome 31, Internet Explorer 10, 

Firefox 25, or Safari 7. User experience may differ due to browser support for HTML5.

TIP: 

After the enclosure is connected to a network, the system’s IP address displays on 

the Control Panel (Setup Options / Master Info / IP Address screen). Enter the IP address 

in a web browser to open the System Configuration interface.

To execute a test switch via the System Configuration interface:

1.

From the System Configuration Home page menu, open Switcher/Switching.

NOTE: 

The default Username is “administrator” and default Password is “password.” 

After initial setup, defaults should be changed to ensure system security.

2.

In the Inputs section, click Input 1.

3.

In Outputs section, click the Deselect All button.

4.

Click the Take button. The default switch of “1 to all” is disconnected.

5.

Click Input 1, Output 2, and then click Take button to execute test switch.

When done, attach remaining sources/destinations. For products requiring TXs/RXs, 

install modules between boards/devices. For details on system setup of the Master via 

the System Configuration interface, see the 

WebConsole & Programming Guide – 

NX-Series Controllers

. For Input/Output configuration (scaling, EDID, DSP, etc.) via the 

System Configuration interface, see the switcher’s 

Hardware Reference Manual

.
