Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 Digital Media Switchers
Program Port and LAN 100/1000 Port
Since the Program port and the LAN 100/1000 port are used in conjunction with each other for NetLinx system setup,
information for cable requirements, LEDs, etc. on each port is given before the setup information.
Program Port
The Enova DGX Switcher’s integrated NetLinx Master is equipped with a low-speed USB connection labeled
“Program.” Use the provided USB mini-AB adapter cable (CA1090-541) to establish a connection between the Program
port on the enclosure and the PC’s USB port. This connection provides serial-based communication between the
integrated Master and NetLinx Studio. This port is useful for getting and setting the system’s IP address (in NetLinx
Studio, open Telnet and enter either
GET
IP
<D:P:S>
or
SET
IP
<D:P:S>
, where D:P:S is Device:Port:System).
Important:
The Program port is not recommended for firmware updates or large file transfers. These more
data-intensive operations are better handled via the LAN 100/1000 port connection.
Cable Requirements
USB mini-AB adapter cable (provided) – required to connect an Enova DGX Switcher via its Program port
to a PC.
