DXLink Fiber Receivers – LEDs
* When the output cable is disconnected from the DXLink Fiber RX or if no EDID can be found on the destination device,
the last used Scaling Mode LED will be ON. In either case, the DXLink Fiber RX will continue to hold its output resolution to
the last known resolution until a sink with a valid EDID is connected. On power up without a valid EDID, the default output
resolution presented will be 1280x1024 @ 60 Hz until a different EDID is detected.
** Configuration of Ethernet, IR, RS-232, and USB for units in Unidirectional or Data Link-lost Mode requires additional
information found in “Unidirectional Mode LAN Configuration” on page 60.
Note:
For detailed behavior of the NetLinx Link/Act and Status LEDs on the unit’s front, see page 63.
For detailed behavior of the ICS LAN 10/100 (RJ-45) connector’s LEDs on the unit’s rear, see page 50.
DXLink Fiber Receivers – Rear View
Components located on the rear of the DXLink Fiber Receivers (left to right):
Power Jack
The power receptacle is a 2.1 mm DC jack for connecting power. Power comes from the locally connected DC supply of
12 V. An automatically adjusting universal 110/220 IEC power supply is provided. The power supply is ENERGY
STAR
®
qualified to ensure maximum efficiency and savings.
Note:
Configuration of Ethernet, IR, RS-232, and USB for units in Unidirectional Mode or Data Link-lost Mode
requires additional information found in “Unidirectional Mode LAN Configuration” on page 60.
