3. Product Overview
The concept
In the room 1. the Matrix reaches the LAN by connecting the Control
Ethernet port to the Ethernet switch.
Creating a link between the RJ45 connectors labeled Ethernet Link to
TPS inputs and TPS inputs Ethernet makes possible to support TPS input
ports (I1-4) with Ethernet.
In the room 2. a third-party Ethernet device connects to the TPS input
port (I2). In this case, instead of TPS data transmission the TPS
connection provides only Ethernet connection to the LAN.
In the room 3. the TPS extender connects to the TPS input port (I4)
of the Matrix. Besides the TPS data transmission, the TPS extender
provides connection to the LAN for e.g. a laptop.
Settings
Matrix: TPS modes in TPS input ports (I2, I4) can be set Auto. ETH Link
TPS In (P4), TPS IN2 (P6), TPS IN4 (P8) can be enabled.
3.8.2. Infra Interface
Technical background
The Infrared signal transmission is similar to the serial data
communication. The matrix contains dedicated IR output connection
and also can receive IR signal via the Control Ethernet port. The signal
is in pronto HEX format.

MMX8x4-HT series – User's Manual
When the data transmission is enabled, the output port works in
command injection mode. The IR data (in pronto HEX format) is
transferred between the LAN port and the IR port. Separate user-
configurable TCP/IP port numbers are defined for IR output ports for
this purpose, see Factory Default Settings section. The settings are
available in the LDC software, see Infra tab section.
INFO: The 2-pole Phoenix connector can be both infra or serial
output. For infra data transmission the destination port numbers
are 9001 and 9002. No setting required for configuring the interface,
it works automatically.
ATTENTION! The IR signal cannot be routed from an IR port to
another IR port.

The concept
IR command ('Power on') can be sent from the smart phone with
IR - TCP/IP converter application over WI-FI. The TCP/IP message is
forwarded to the matrix via Control Ethernet port. The Matrix converts
the TCP message to IR format and transmits the IR signal to the
IR output port (e.g. 9001). The connected IR emitter sends the IR
command ('Power on') to the TV.
Settings
Control Ethernet port (P2) can

Check the IR port number (default value is 9001). The port can be
enabled (operation mode is always command injection).
