Transmitter panel description and installation steps:
IMPORTANT:
On the switcher, the ICS LAN port acts as a DHCP server (private LAN) and
the LAN 100/1000 port acts as a DHCP client (public LAN) with each port on a separate
network. In order to avoid a Network Loop, do not connect any device on the private
network to any branch on the public network.

DXLink Auto-setup with Enova DGX 100 Series Switchers
Auto-setup is the default for using DXLink Modules with Enova DGX 100 Series
Switchers. When all of the following conditions are met, the modules automatically
into Auto-setup Mode and can communicate through the ICS LAN port with the
integrated Controller:
A desktop power supply (ENERGY STAR®
qualified) is provided with each TX and RX.
CAUTION:
The provided desktop power supply must be used to power the DXLink Fiber
TX and RX, and it must not be altered in any way.
To apply power to the Transmitter and/or Receiver:
1. Plug the cord from the desktop power supply (provided) into the power jack on
rear of the unit (2.1 mm DC jack for 12 V local power).
2. Plug the desktop power supply into an AC external power source. The Power LED
on the front of the unit illuminates green, indicating a ready state.
1.
Each TX and RX has a Host Port (USB-B) and a Device Port (USB-A
port is active at a time depending on the position of the USB DIP Switch.
2.
The active USB port is set by the USB DIP Switch on the front panel of the TX/RX.
The default setting is TX as Host, RX as
D
evice.

Some USB2.0 devices can only be powered by the TX/RX USB port when the TX/RX
is powered via the local power connector.

A reboot is required for changes to the USB Mode switch to take e

•
USB ports can also be used to upgrade

•
When a TX and RX are connected point-to-point, the USB mode switches on the
TX
and RX cannot be set to the same mode.
Note
:
Set the USB Mode to Host when connecting to a USB host like a PC. Set the USB
Mode to Device when connecting to USB devices like keyboards, mice or cameras.
When connecting to a DGX DXLink
4K60 Fi
ber input/output board
, the DGX will
automatically detect the setting on the TX/RX and will set the
function of the
associated Micro-USB A/B port accordingly.
ID Button (Front)
The ID button on the front can be used to toggle between static and DHCP IP address,
assign a device address, reset the factory defaults, and restore the factory
fi
rmware
image (for details, see the manual).
Additional Information Covered in Manual

•
Endpoints must be set to DHCP Mode (default) and use the NDP
connection mode (default).
•
Endpoints must not be bound to a Controller.
IP Addressing Modes
DHCP Mode (enabled when #3 Toggle is
fl
ipped ON)
In DHCP Mode, the Module attempts to get a DHCP lease (consisting of an IP address,
gateway, and other network parameters). If the attempt fails, the Module con
fi
gures
itself for a link-local address, but periodically re-tries DHCP and re-assigns the IP to a
valid DHCP grant if successful. At any time, if the Module determines that its IP address
has changed, it will disconnect and reconnect to th e Controller.
Static IP Mode (set with ID button or Telnet command)
With #3 Toggle set to ON, press ID for 10 seconds to assign address or use a Telnet
command to set unit to Static IP Mode (see the manual).
Enova DGX and DXLink Fiber IP Setup (system without auto-setup)
To setup DXLink fiber Modules with an Enova DGX without auto-set
up, you must
configure the Device ID for each connected DXLink fiber module an
d then connect (bind)
the modules to the DGX unit. Complete instructions for DXLink fi
ber setup on
systems that don’t support auto-setup can be found in the Hardware Reference Manual –
DXLink

Fiber Transmitter/Receiver.
RS-232 Serial Data (Optional)
The 232 port label is relative to data flow. Data enters at RX l
abel on the Transmitter, is
sent via a fiber optic cable through the switcher, and leaves at
TX label on Receiver.
Flow is vice verse from Receiver to Transmitter. Applies to all
DXLink fiber modules - wire
RS-232 port for serial data transfer according to pinout above connectors (TXD-RXD-Ground).
IR Control (Optional)
The IR Receiver connects to the IR RX port on the Transmitter and the IR Emitter
connects to the IR TX port on the Receiver or vice versa, depending on the installation.
The signal is sent via
DXLink fiber optic cable through the switcher.
When a Transmitter and Receiver are used as a standalone pair, IR control acts as a
passthrough.
