Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Fiber Transmitters and Receivers, Duplex
Common Features/Functionality
This section covers HDCP compliance, the DIP switches, the USB port, and IR functionality.
HDCP Compliance
If the connected downstream sink is not HDCP compliant, then the HDMI output on the Receiver will not send the
signal. This does not affect additional displays the source may be routed to, i.e., HDCP compliant displays will still show
content from the source device even when the source device is also routed to non-compliant displays. Non-compliant
devices can be easily identified because they display an orange or dark red image to indicate the authentication process
failed.
DIP Switches
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.
A four-toggle DIP switch is on the bottom of the DXLink Fiber Transmitters and Receivers.
#1 Toggle
is used for enabling/disabling the physical ICS LAN 10/100 port (page 39).
#2 Toggle
is reserved for future functionality. Be sure that it is set to OFF.
#3 Toggle
is used for enabling/disabling network connectivity of the DXLink Fiber unit to a connected
NetLinx Central Controller (used for IR ports, serial ports, and commands to the DXLink unit); page 39.
#4 Toggle
is reserved for future functionality. Be sure that it is set to OFF.
For complete information on setting DIP switches (including settings for common scenarios), see the section starting on
page 38.
