into IR port. 

 

IR In – Blinks when receiving IR from IR port. It is normal to be lit if nothing is plug into IR 
port. 

 

TX – RS-232 Transmit. Blinking rate and intensity will vary with baud rate. 

 

RX – RS-232 Receive. Blinking rate and intensity will vary with baud rate. 

 

HDBT – Lights when HDBaseT RJ-45 has proper connection between an RX/TX pair. Blinks 
when in sleep mode. 

 

HDMI – Will light solid if HDMI is plugged in on both RX/TX and HDCP is present. If no 
HDCP LED will blink.

Setup – For DXE-CAT-TX2-4KL model only. Not used for DXE-CAT-TX2-4K 

 

Rear Connections 
 

 

24V DC – Power connector for 15 watt 24VDC power supply. Note only 1 supply is required 
to power both units. Either side can send power to the other unit. Note if LAN POE is utilized 
the 24VDC supply is not required. 

 

IR – Plug the IR receiver or emitter into this port. It will auto detect the mode of operation 
required. 

 

RS-232 – Connect RS-232 device up to 115k baud. 

 

HDBaseT – Connect CAT 5e/6/7 cable. Shield cable is not necessary unless the environment 
has a lot of electrically noise. 

 

HDMI Input – Plug HDMI cable from source device like a Blu-ray player. Note the HDMI cable 
should be rated for the bandwidth you are using. 

 

LAN1/2 – 10/100 LAN connection. LAN1 can use POE from a POE switch to power both the 
RX and TX units.   
 

Note: Some POE switch do not supply the full 15.4watts per port. Verify the total power rating of the switch. It should 
be at least 15.4W x (number of ports).
