Instruction Manual – DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers
DIP Switch Location
Tip:
For easiest access to the DIP switch toggles, we recommend setting them before installation.
Important:
When setting the DIP switch toggles, make sure any toggles that need to be ON are flipped
toward the AMX sticker.
DIP switch toggles for enabling/disabling special Receiver/Transmitter functionality are located on the bottom of the
Receiver and the Transmitters.
Important:
DIP switch settings on all DXLink Fiber units are read only on reboot. After the settings are read,
any adjustment of the toggles will not be implemented and will not affect the system.
Setting DIP Switch #1 to Enable/Disable Access to ICS LAN 10/100 Port
The #1 Toggle is used for enabling/disabling network activity over the physical ICS LAN 10/100 port. It does not affect
network activity over the DXLink Fiber connection. (For SEND_COMMANDs used to disable/enable ICS LAN
functionality, see page 95.)
Tip:
Common setup scenarios and their DIP switch settings are provided in a table on page 46.
#1 Toggle Settings
OFF
(default) – When the #1 Toggle is set to OFF, network activity over the ICS LAN 10/100 port is
disabled.
ON
– When the #1 Toggle is set to ON, network activity over the ICS LAN 10/100 port is enabled.
Toggle #1 Set to ON
When a Transmitter or Receiver is connected to a DXLink Fiber input or output on an Enova DGX Digital Media
Switcher, the switcher provides a network connection allowing the Transmitter or Receiver to appear in the OnLine Tree
in NetLinx Studio (#3 Toggle
must
be set to ON). For connecting the Transmitter or Receiver to other equipment using
the ICS LAN 10/100 port, the #1 Toggle must be set to ON.

Caution:
Because the DXLink Fiber connection carries network activity passed from the switcher, do not
connect the ICS LAN 10/100 port on the Transmitter or Receiver to the same LAN as the switcher because a
network loop will result. For information on avoiding network loops, see page 43.
