Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair 4K Transmitters/Receivers
Common Features/Functionality
This section covers the DIP switches, the USB port, and HDCP compliance.
DIP Switches
The following DIP switch settings do not in any way affect the functionality of the DX-TX-DWP-4K and are not applicable when
configuring a DX-RX-4K for use with an Enova DGX in Auto-setup Mode. These settings only apply when the DX-RX-4K is used with
a Transmitter that also features DIP switches (see the “DXLink Compatibility Appendix” on page 89) or when used with an Enova
DGX in a traditional NetLinx Binding setup (see the “Network Configuration Chapter” on page 37).
TIP:
For easiest access to the DIP switch toggles, we recommend setting them before installation.
A four-toggle DIP switch is on the bottom of the DXLink Module.
#1 Toggle is used for enabling/disabling the physical ICS LAN 10/100 port (see page 25).
#2 Toggle is used for setting Modules to either automatically or manually determine the DXLink Mode (see page 26).
#3 Toggle is used for enabling/disabling network connectivity of the DXLink Transmitter or Receiver to a connected NetLinx
Central Controller (used for IR ports, serial ports, and commands to the DXLink unit); see page 26.
#4 Toggle is not functional.
For complete information on setting DIP switches (including settings for common scenarios), see the section starting on page 25.
DXLink USB Port
The USB-A port on the rear of the Receivers supports passthrough information from the USB Host port on Transmitter modules to
an HID (Human Interface Device), which is most commonly a keyboard or mouse.
HID Devices and Windows 8
Windows 8 will not wake up from a DXLink connected keyboard or mouse unless the properties for the HID device are set to allow
the device to wake the computer. (Note that even a hot plug of the USB cable will not restore connectivity.)
To set Windows 8 to work with DXLink modules and HID devices:
1.
On the PC, go to Start > Control Panel > Device Manager and expand “Keyboards.”
2.
Right-click the HID Keyboard Device and select Properties.
The HID Keyboard Device Properties dialog box opens.
