5. Attach the other end of the second twisted pair cable to the Input (RJ-45) connector on the DXLink Receiver.
6. Attach a second HDMI cable to the HDMI Output connector on the Receiver.
7. Attach the other end of the second HDMI cable to the destination device.
8.
Repeat steps above for additional source and destination devices.
9.
If the enclosure is not being used as the source of power, attach the provided desktop power supplies to the
transmitters and receivers.
NOTE: If the enclosure already has power applied, as soon as transmitters and receivers are connected they will have
power.
10. Apply power to the source and destination devices.
NOTE: DXLink Boards can also work in conjunction with Audio Switching Boards (see page 164) and Audio Insert/Extract
Boards (see page 175).
NOTE: DXLink Twisted Pair 4K cable runs include support for up to two (2) patch cables of up to 5 meters in length each,
provided that the total end-to-end cable length does not exceed 80 meters and all cables and couplers/patch panels
used in the run meet the minimum cable requirements (e.g., from DX-TX-DWP-4K to 5m patch cable, 70m cable run, 5m
patch cable to DXLink 4K Input Board using shielded Cat6A or better for each cable length).

Configuring DXLink Endpoints for Communication with a Master

DXLink Transmitters and Receivers may be configured for communication in one of two ways: auto-setup or traditional
NetLinx binding. The instructions in this section cover configuration through auto-setup. For instructions that cover
configuring TXs and RXs through traditional NetLinx binding, see the Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink Twisted Pair
Transmitters/Receiver.
DXLink endpoints ship from the factory with a default mode which allows auto-setup to work without additional
configuration. If the endpoint has not been altered from its default settings, it should not require any of the following
instructions.
NOTE: For information of control signals passed through an Enova DGX with configured DXLink Transmitter and Receiver,
see the Serial Data Transfer and IR Flow Control section on page 122.

Best Practices for Configuration

Best practices for configuring endpoints includes using auto-setup. Auto-setup is designed to reduce the number of IP
addresses consumed by a complete system. In a system that does not use auto-setup, each endpoint requires its own IP
address whereas a system that uses auto-setup requires only one IP address (for the integrated Master) and each
endpoint is configured for communication via a private LAN (ICS LAN) hosted by the integrated Master.

DIP Switch Toggles

The following table contains some of the most common scenarios for setting up DXLink Transmitters and Receivers with an
Enova DGX Switcher (the default for all four DIP switch toggles is OFF).
IMPORTANT: Find the scenario in the table below that you want to use and set the DIP switches accordingly.
The DIP switches are on the bottom of the DXLink Modules, on the rear of the DXLink Wallplate, and on the front of the
DXLink Decor Style Wallplate (hidden by front cover plate). A detailed description of functions for each toggle is provided
in the Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver at www.amx.com.
