If an input is switched to an output, and both the input and the output belongs to the same
serial port connector, that results an internal loopback. This way the serial link can be tested
between the source and the MODEX extender device.
Figure 6-6. Serial crosspoint
Example
The working method is the same as for Infra crosspoint settings.
Above screenshot was made about a Serial crosspoint layout of a MODEX (assembled
with MODEX-IF-RS232-IR module). Local UART input signal (on Rx data lane) and the
signal received via fiber optical cable are switched to the UART output port (Tx data lane)
within the given module. Local UART input signal is extended also to the other MODEX.
Info: The signal of the local input port is always extended via the fiber optical cable, but the other
device’s Serial crosspoint settings determine if the incoming signal is switched to its UART
output port or not.
Further examples:
Example 1
Signal received on local UART port (Rx
data lane) is switched to the Tx data lane
of the port and extended to the other
MODEX as well.
Example 2
Signal received via fiber optical cable is
switched to the local UART port (Tx data
lane). Signal received on local UART
port (Rx data lane) is extended to the
other MODEX.
Example 3
Signal received on local UART port (Rx
data lane) is extended to the other
MODEX.
6.4. Module properties and settings
General
General information is displayed about the module: Module name, Part number, Hardware
version, Serial number and further module-dependent information and settings.
Settings
Each MODEX modules
– including video-, interface- and physical link modules – have their
special property list. Related ports are indicated by the color of the module property bar.
Different color means different module. Left click on Module property bar to open module
property window.
