Quick Reference Table – Modes for Handling Addressing/Networking (DX_RX-4K only)
Mode
Description
IP Addressing
Modes
IP Addressing Modes refer to network connection settings. By default, all network connection settings are turned OFF.
Static IP Mode:
• This mode configures the network connection to one stable IP address the device will use continuously.
DHCP Mode
:
• This mode configures the network connection to choose a new IP address for each network session.
To enable network capability, see “Network Configuration” on page 37.
ID Mode
ID (Identify) Mode refers to the protocol for enabling a user to establish device addresses. This Mode, accessible
through NetLinx Studio, places the entire system on hold while it waits for an event from a NetLinx device in the
named system (e.g., pressing the ID Pushbutton on the RX). For further information, see “Assign a Device Address (ID
Mode)” on page 40.
Master
Connection
Modes
Master Connection Modes refer to the modes of communication used for connection to the Master as specified via
the SET CONNECTION Telnet command.
Auto Mode:
This mode utilizes TCP communication. It looks for a matching System Number and attempts to come online with the
first Master it sees with that System Number.
TCP URL Mode:
TCP; the Master is specified via URL.
UDP URL Mode:
UDP; the Master is specified via URL.
NDP Mode (Default):
UDP; utilizes the NDP binding process to assign the DXLink endpoint (the physical device) to a Master (or Virtual
Master) via NetLinx Studio. Once bound, communications are conducted via UDP.
For further information, see “Master Connection Modes” on page 74.
Auto-setup Mode
In auto-setup mode, endpoints are automatically discovered by and connected to an Enova DGX 100 Series Switcher
using a single IP address. For this mode,
all of the following requirements must be met
. If not, the endpoint will no
longer reside in auto-setup mode and must be either bound to the integrated Master (see page 37) or reconfigured to
meet the requirements.
Endpoint
must
be connected to a DXLink Input or Output Board in an Enova DGX 100 Series Switcher
(or Enova DGX 8/16/32/64 with upgraded 100 Series CPU)
Endpoint
must
have IP mode set to DHCP for setup (self-configures to Static IP on private LAN)
Endpoint
must
have the master connection type set to NDP
Endpoint
must
not be bound to a Master via NDP (traditional binding process)
IMPORTANT:
If auto-setup is being used, Telnet is the only way to access some of the network settings. Also
note that some network settings will disable auto-setup.
For additional information on the auto-setup feature, see the
Hardware Reference Manual –
Enova DGX 100 Series Digital Media Switchers
.
IR
SEND_COMMAND
Modes
IR SEND_COMMAND Modes refer to displaying and setting the IR port active system settings as IR, Serial, or Data
modes.
GET MODE SEND_COMMAND:
• The GET MODE SEND_COMMAND reveals the active system (IR, Serial, or Data) settings.
SET MODE SEND_COMMAND:
• The SET MODE SEND_COMMAND changes the active system settings.
For further information, see “IR SEND_COMMANDs” on page 53.
Quick Reference Table – Modes for Handling Video Processing
Mode
Description
Scaling Modes
Scaling Modes refer to how the system alters or maintains a source device’s resolution as it is passed along to the
destination device. The Scaling Mode can be set on the Receivers with the Scaling button (see page 34) or with
SEND_COMMANDs (see page 49).
Auto Mode (Default):
• Auto Mode (SmartScale
®
) allows the destination device to choose the resolution it needs.
Manual Mode:
• Manual Mode allows the user to configure the resolution the video will display through a destination device.
Bypass Mode:
• Bypass Mode allows the video signal to display over the destination device without altering the signal’s resolution.
