8-Port HDMI Extender with Power, IR, and RS-232 

12 

Figure 19 –HDBaseT status indicators on the front panel 

Link 

Solid on means the UHBX-8X Sender & remote Receiver are communicating 
Blinking means they are communicating in Low-Power (sleep) mode 

Video 

Solid on means Video is being sent to the display 

L.R. 

Solid on means the link is operating in Long Reach mode 

PoH 

Solid on means PoH handshake successful and power is sent to receiver  

 
If all the LED’s on the front panel are blinking together, then the unit has 
detected an over temperature condition and is performing a partial shutdown 
to prevent damage to the integrated circuits. This condition is reversible and 
when the temperature decreases to acceptable levels the extender begins to 
function normally again. If over temperature condition occurs frequently, then 
the user must allow better cooling and air flow around the box. The enclosure 
has a temperature controlled fan on the left side that draws in fresh air and 
exhausts the right side; make sure the sides of the unit are not blocking the 
flow of air. 

If for a particular channel the Link, Video, and L.R. LEDs are blinking 
together, there has been a failure on the corresponding transmitter module or it 
is missing. Contact Support. 

5.0 Control Commands (RS232 and IP) 

The extender can be controlled using simple ASCII commands either through 
the RS232 or the Ethernet (IP) ports using Telnet protocol. 
 
Use a DB9 Male-to-Female cable shipped with the extender to connect it to 
the computer or external control device. If using a PC open a serial terminal 
program (HyperTerminal, Realterm, TeraTerm, Putty, etc) with the following 
settings:  
19200 Baud, 8 bits, No Parity, 1 Stop-bit, and No flow control. 
 
All serial commands received will be followed by a response. Baud Rate and 
Parity setting commands (XBn and XPn) are global and affect all the outputs. 
 

Command: 

XC,n <cr>     Stands for Serial Connect

 

Connect serial interface (UART) to an output (n). If n is not specified, then it 
reports which output the controller is connected to.n is  in the range of 1 to 8 

Response:

  

XC,n <cr>

     

This indicates that the command completed successfully
