The 

Digitalinx RS232 Automation Configuration Software

 can be found online on the 

DL-HD2A-RX 

product 

page under the SOFTWARE tab at 

www.libav.com

. Download the zip file and extract all files, then run 

the tool on a Windows PC that will be used to configure the 

DL-HD2A-RX

.

The Digitalinx RS232 Automation Configuration Software allows you to load ON and OFF serial commands into 

the RS232 control port of the DL-HD2A-RX so the commands can be sent to a connected display or projector 

to automate power when a video signal is introduced to the system and when the transmitter is in an off state. 

When programming ON/OFF commands using this software tool, it will also program the DISPLAY on/off button 

operation of the connected HDBaseT 2.0 transmitter as well. 

To connect a PC to the DL-HD2A-RX RS232 port, a DB9 (RS232) to USB adapter is required. A USB serial 

cable is included with the DL-HD2A-RX

Once the RS232 to USB adapter has been installed on the PC, connect the USB adapter to a DB9 female 

connector that is terminated to a 3 pin phoenix connector.
