3.5. SFP+ Slot Connection
INFO:
The SFP+ slots support the hot swap connection - the endpoint devices do not need to be powered
off before inserting or removing SFP+ modules or DAC cables.
3.5.1. Installation of SFP+ Modules
UBEX endpoint devices use SFP+ modules for the fiber optical connections.
The optical modules can be changed based on the current application of the
extender: it can be singlemode or multimode, or BiDi modules, up to 10 GbE
signal transmission.
INFO:
It is recommended to install 2x 10 GbE SFP+ modules per endpoint in the case of HDMI 2.0
(4K@60 Hz 4:4:4) signal transmission.
Inserting and Cabling of SFP+ Modules
Step 4. Put up on the handle bar.
Step 5. Connect the module to the to one of the SFP+ port slot.
Step 6. Connect the LC connectors to the SFP+ modules.
INFO:
The SFP+ modules have a side that clips to the connector on the port of the switch, and is designed
to prevent the module from being inserted the wrong way into the port. Do NOT force the module into the
port.
Removing SFP+ Modules
Step 1. Disconnect the LC connectors from the SFP+ module.
Step 2. Pull down on the handle bar.
Step 3. Gently slide out the SFP+ module from the slot.
3.5.2. Installation of DAC Cables
UBEX endpoint devices can be connected via DAC (Direct Attach Copper)
cables as well. The cable type must support 10 GbE signal transmission.

INFO: It is recommended to install 2x 10 GbE DAC cables in the case of
HDMI 2.0 (4K@60 Hz 4:4:4) signal transmission.
Inserting the DAC Cables
Step 1. Push the plug of the DAC cable to one of the SFP+ port slot of the local endpoint to stop.
Step 2. Push the other plug of the DAC cable to one of the SFP+ port slot of remote endpoint to stop.
Removing the DAC Cables
Pull the handle bar of the plug and gently slide out the cable from the slot.

3.6. Startup of the System
The following section describes the startup of the UBEX extender system step-by-step from the beginning to
the displayed video on the sink devices.
ATTENTION!
Before powering on the system please check the
installation steps are met with the connection requirements.
3.6.1. Switch on the Devices
Power on the UBEX endpoints, the source, and the sink devices connected to the extenders.

INFO: After the booting procedure of the UBEX extenders, the last configuration is loaded automatically.
3.6.2. Configure the Operation Mode
All endpoint devices are manufactured as transmitter (TX) by default. Set up the operation mode for the
endpoints using as receivers or transceivers with the Front panel LCD menu. See the details in the
Mode section.
3.6.3. Establish the Connection with the UBEX Extenders
Establish the connection between one of the UBEX extenders and the controller device via LAN network. It
is highly recommended to connect one of the extenders due to the following reasons:
▪ The two UBEX endpoints are visible for each others in the case of correct SFP+ link connection.
▪ User Ethernet is also transmitted over the SFP+ interface so be sure not to create network loop!
Network Settings
Check the network settings of the UBEX extenders. You can find the factory default settings of the endpoint
in the Factory Default Settings section. The network settings can be changed using two different methods:
▪ via LCD menu - see the details in the
▪ via LDC software, in the Device discovery window - see the details in the
section.
Lightware Device Controller Software
All required settings can be done by control software, the Lightware Device Controller (LDC). See all the
details about it in the Lightware Device Controller (LDC)
Discovering the Device
Step 1. Open the LDC software. The Device discovery
window will launch automatically
discover all available Lightware devices on
the network where the controller device is
connected to.
Step 2. Select the endpoint device which you want
to connect to and click on the green Connect
button.
