Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
LAN 100/1000 Port
The LAN 100/1000 (Ethernet) port, which provides the connection from the integrated NetLinx Master to a LAN, is
located on the rear of the enclosure on the right-hand side of the CPU.
Important:
Because the LAN 100/1000 port is the single, shared connection to the LAN for all connected
DXLink Transmitters and Receivers, if the LAN port on the transmitters and receivers will be used for network
connectivity, a Gigabit (1000 Mbps) LAN connection between the network and the Enova DGX Switcher’s
LAN port is strongly recommended. Lower speed connections may result in inferior performance of the
embedded Ethernet network.
Important:
The two RJ-45 connectors at the far left of the CPU should only be used to connect autonomous
devices (to prevent network loops); do not attempt to use either of them for a TCP/IP connection or to link
enclosures.
Cable Requirements and Pinouts
RJ-45 link cable (either crossover or straight-through) – required to connect an Enova DGX Switcher to a
LAN.
Note:
Cable can be wired to either T568A (see below) or T568B (on the next page), as long as the wiring is
consistent on both ends.
T568A
The following table lists the pinouts, signals, and pairing for the Ethernet connector when wired for straight-through
cable according to T568A.
FIG. 29 shows the connections for Ethernet RJ-45 connector/cable per T568A.
