3. Product Overview
Ethernet Ports
Lightware matrix routers can be remote controlled through Dthernet as well. The
Dthernet port can be connected to a LAN hub, switch or router with a UTP patch
cable. If connecting to a computer directly, a cross UTP cable has to be used! The
robust Neutrik DtherCON connector ensures reliable connection, however, normal
RJ45 connectors can be used as well.
AAAENAIONG!
TPS link uses the same RJ-45 connector but TPS CAT cable is
not allowed to connect to the Dthernet connector! It seriously damages both
devices.
APS I/O Boards
The MX-TPS I/O boards also have Ethernet up-link connectors. It is an RJ-45 receptacle with two LEDs and
it has the same pin connection as the Neutrik DtherCON.

RS-232 Ports
MXD-HDMI-TP interface boards provide standard 9-pin female

remote HDMI-TP extenders. The MX-CPU2 boards also contain
an RS-232 port which allows to remote control the matrix via
industry standard 9-pole D-sub female connector.
