•
Endpoints must not be bound to a Controller.
IMPORTANT: On the switcher, the ICS LAN port acts as a DHCP server (private LAN) and
the LAN 100/1000 port acts as a DHCP client (public LAN) with each port on a separate
network. In order to avoid a Network Loop, do not connect any device on the private
network to any branch on the public network
.
IP Addressing Modes
DHCP Mode (enabled when #3 Toggle is flipped ON)
In DHCP Mode, the Module attempts to get a DHCP lease (consisting of an IP address,
gateway, and other network parameters). If the attempt fails, the Module configures
itself for a link-local address, but periodically re-tries DHCP and re-assigns the IP to a
valid DHCP grant if successful. At any time, if the Module determines that its IP address has
changed, it will disconnect and reconnect to the Controller.
Static IP Mode (set with ID button or Telnet command)
With #3 Toggle set to ON, press ID for 10 seconds to assign address or use a Telnet
command to set unit to Static IP Mode (see the manual).

Enova DGX/DVX and DXLink IP Setup (systems without auto-setup)
To setup DXLink Modules with an Enova DGX or DVX without auto-setup, you must configure
the Device ID for each connected DXLink module and then connect (bind) the modules to the
DGX or DVX unit. Complete instructions for DXLink setup on systems that don’t support
auto-setup can be found in the Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink Twisted Pair 4K60
Transmitter/Receiver.

To attach signal, transport, and control cables to the Receiver:
1.
Set DIP switch toggles if necessary (for settings, see previous page).
2.
DXLink input connector – Attach a twisted pair cable from the DXLink output
connector on the switcher (or on a TX) to the DXLink input.
3.
HDMI Out – Attach HDMI cable from this port to the destination.
4.
Stereo Audio Out jack (optional) – Connect analog audio cable from port to
destination.
Applying Power
A desktop power supply is provided with each module. Power can be supplied to
DXLink Twisted Pair Modules in the following ways:
•
Over local power by connecting the supplied desktop power supply to the 12V input
•
Over the DXLink connection from a powered DXLink port on a DGX or DVX
•
Over the DXLink connection using a PS-POE-AT-TC (FG423-84) or PDXL-2
(FG1090-170).
Note: Local power takes precedence over DXLink power.
Power Budget: For TXs and/or RXs connected to an Enova DGX, use the Enova DGX
Configuration Tool (www.amx.com/enova) to determine power requirements of a
configuration and if any DXLink TXs or RXs should use the local power. The tool
contains instructions on how to use it.
IMPORTANT: If a desktop power supply is used to power the unit, it must be the one
provided, which must not be altered in any way. AMX does not support the use of any
other power supplies or PoE injectors as they may potentially damage the DXLink
equipment.

DXLink Auto-setup with Enova DGX 100 Series Switchers
Auto-setup is the default for using DXLink Modules with Enova DGX 100 Series
Switchers. When all of the following conditions are met, the modules automatically go
into Auto-setup Mode and can communicate through the ICS LAN port with the
integrated Controller:
RS-232 Serial Data (Optional)
The 232 port label is relative to data flow. Data enters at RX label on the Transmitter, is
sent via a DXLink cable through the switcher, and leaves at TX label on Receiver. Flow is
vice versa from Receiver to Transmitter. Applies to all DXLink modules – wire RS-232
port for serial data transfer according to pinout above connectors (TXD-RXD-Ground).
IR Control (Optional)
The IR Receiver connects to the IR RX port on the Transmitter and the IR Emitter
connects to the IR TX port on the Receiver or vice versa, depending on the installation.
The signal is sent via DXLink cable through the switcher.
When a Transmitter and Receiver are used as a standalone pair, IR control acts as a
passthrough.
Configuring and Using USB Ports
1.
Each TX and RX has a Host Port (USB-B) and a Device Port (USB-A), but only one
port is active at a time depending on the position of the USB DIP Switch.
2.
The active USB port is set by the USB DIP Switch on the front panel of the TX/RX.
The default setting is TX as Host, RX as device.
3.
Set the USB Mode to Host when connecting to a USB host like a PC. Set the USB
Mode to Device when connecting to USB devices like keyboards, mice or cameras.
4.
When connecting to a DGX DXLink 4K60 input/output board or a DVX-4K
Presentation Switcher, the DGX or DVX will automatically detect the setting on the
TX/RX and will set the function of the associated Micro-USB A/B port accordingly.
5.
Some USB2.0 devices can only be powered by the TX/RX USB port when the TX/RX
is powered via the local power connector.
Note:
•
A reboot is required for changes to the USB Mode switch to take effect.
•
USB ports can also be used to upgrade firmware. See Hardware Reference.
•
See the detail white list for supported HID device at www.amx.com.
•
When a TX and RX are connected point-to-point, the USB mode switches on the TX
and RX cannot be set to the same mode.
ID Button (Front)
The ID button on the front can be used to toggle between static and DHCP IP addressing,
assign a device address, reset the factory defaults, and restore the factory firmware
image (for details, see the manual).
