Quick Start Guide
TPS link modes
▪
HDBaseT
TM
(HDBT): more bandwidth (higher resolutions), shorter CATx cable length. If no
video present, the units change to LPPF mode automatically.
▪
Long reach (LR): Longer CATx cable length, less bandwidth (limited resolution). The LPPF
mode is not available in LR TPS link mode.
▪
Low power partial functionality (LPPF): Only Ethernet, RS-232 and IR are extended.
(For the available resolutions and lengths see Maximum cable lengths table below.)
Toggling between TPS link modes
Extenders have a toggle switch with two states: Auto and LR. If any unit has LR state both of
them switch into LR mode (go into LPPF mode is available only from HDBT mode). If both
units have Auto state and there is valid video signal on the transmitter the common mode
will be HDBT. If the video signal disappears devices go into LPPF mode.

If an extender and a TPS matrix board are paired the board forces the extender to use the
settings of the matrix. The extender’s TPS mode switch has no effect.
Info: Always use the Auto mode with third-party devices!

Bi-directional pass-through data lines
The direction of the video extension is fixed from TX towards the RX but the pass-through
data lines are bi-directional. It means the RS-232, IR and Ethernet source and the sink
devices can be connected either to the TX or to the RX.
Ethernet
The Ethernet port on the RX or on the TX can be connected to a LAN hub, switch or router
with a LAN cable. The other side behaves as an Ethernet uplink port. Extenders support
10/100 Mbit/sec data transfer rate. The direct access is also supported with crosslink cable.
The Ethernet port has auto crossover function. It is able to recognize and handle both of the
cable types: patch and cross TP cables.
RS-232
Serial port pass-through supports any unit that works with standard RS-232. TX and RX
provide 9-pole D-sub female connector. Use straight-serial cable to connect a DTE device to
and an extender and use a cross serial cable in case of pairing a DCE device to a TPS
extender. The RS-232 options – the baud rate and the parity bits - are set on the third party
devices and it can be anything. The extenders support any kind of serial settings.
Info: Please read user’s manual of the RS-232 devices to know which type it is. The
extenders work as the DCE devices.
Infra-Red (IR)
One IR emitter and one detector are supplied with the TX and the RX. One emitter and one
detector is enough for controlling only one IR sink device. If there is an IR sink device to be
controlled next to the TX and the other one is next to the RX, two emitter-detector pairs* are
needed. The IR emitter and the detector have standard 3.5 mm TRS (jack) connectors. The
emitter’s plug has two poles (mono) and the detector’s one has three poles (stereo).
