Appendix A – DGX Configuration Software
Note: If you plan to use the terminal emulation function of the software, a serial connection is
required.
To use DGX Configuration Software with the Enova DGX Switcher:
1.
Ethernet connection – Attach an RJ-45 crossover cable or a straight-through patch cable to one of
the two RJ-45 ports on the left rear of the enclosure (do not use the LAN 100/1000 port on the
right). The maximum length for the cable is 100 feet (30.5 meters).
Or
Serial connection (DB-9) – Attach a null modem serial cable without hardware flow control to the
serial Control port (DB-9 connector) on the enclosure. Use a serial cable that matches the RS-232
pin diagram in FIG. 87. Enova DGX equipment uses pins 2, 3, and 5 only.

DGX Configuration Software was installed.

Or
Serial connection (DB-9 only) – From the Communication menu, select Serial Port and then select
Change Settings to change the serial port and/or the baud rate for the PC's serial port. The baud rate
for the PC must match the baud rate for the enclosure. The recommended (default) baud rate setting
for serial communication with an Enova DGX Switcher is 9600.
