5.4.2.3.  Infra crosspoint 

In the main menu left click on the 

Crosspoint

 

label then left click on 

Infra

 label the infra 

crosspoint appears. The inputs are at the top row and the outputs are at the right column.  

The  number  of  the  inputs  depends  on  the 
number  of  the  infra  inputs  at  the  local  side 
and  the  number  of  the  infra  inputs  at  the 
remote side.  

The  number  of  the  outputs  depends  on  the 
number of the infra outputs at the local side. 
All  infrared  inputs  are  transmitted  to  the 
remote  device  all  the  time.  The  selection 
should  be  done  on  the  local  device  which 
infra source has to be output on a local infra port. 

As all of the infra input ports data can be transmitted via the link the link doesn’t appear 
as an output as it appears in the video or in the audio crosspoints. The input port with a 
link icon symbolizes the input of the remote side. 

The  input  and  output  settings  can  be  accessed  through  module  and  port  properties. 
Every port is represented with a connector icon, while the modules are represented with a 
colored bar. Some modules have multiple ports so the module settings may affect which 
ports can be used.  

Module property 

In  the  property  window  there  is  some  general  information  about  the  selected  interface 
module that contains the infra port. 

Port property 

Left click on the Port property icon a property window opens. In the settings list the carrier 
frequency at the output ports can be set. 

5.4.2.4.  Serial crosspoint 

In  the  main  menu  left  click  on  the 

Crosspoint

 

label  then  left  click  on 

Serial

  label  the 

serial crosspoint appears. The inputs are at the top row and  the outputs  are  at the right 
column.  

The  number  of  the  inputs  depends  on  the 
number  of  the  serial  ports  at  the  local  side 
and  the  number  of  the  serial  ports  at  the 
remote  side.  The  number  of  the  outputs  is 
depending  on  the  number  of  the  serial  ports 
at the local side. In the crosspoint view every 
serial port appears as an input and an output. 
It  means  that  Tx  data  channel  of  the  port  is 
an input and the Rx data channel of the port 
is an output.  

All serial inputs are transmitted to the remote device all the time. The selection should be 
done on the local device which serial source has to be output on a local serial port. 

As all of the serial 

ports data can be transmitted via the link the link doesn’t appear as an 

output as it appears in the video or in the audio crosspoints. The input port with a link icon 
symbolizes the input of the remote side. 

If  an  input  is  switched  to  an  output  and  both  the  input  and  the  output  is  belongs  to  the 
same  serial  port  connector  than  it  is  an  internal  loopback  and  in  this  way  the  serial  link 
can be tested between the source and the MODEX extender device.
