Integrating Dxlink Txs And Rxs In Netlinx Studio - AMX Enova DGX 8 Instruction Manual

Integrating DXLink TXs and RXs in NetLinx Studio

DXLink Transmitters and Receivers must have their DIP switch toggles set before they will display as part of a
Enova DGX system in NetLinx Studio. In NetLinx Studio, the DXLink TXs and RXs can be bound to the
integrated Master by right-clicking on the device and selecting Network Bind/Unbind Device.
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.
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 Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver at
www.amx.com.
Common Scenarios
Switcher Setup – TX/RX with Enova DGX 8/16/32
AV signals only
AV with Ethernet pass-through to networked device*
AV with NetLinx control of TX/RX unit and serial/IR ports
AV with NetLinx control of TX/RX unit and serial/IR ports, plus
Ethernet pass-through to networked device*
* Connect the ICS LAN 10/100 port of the DXLink unit to the network device (e.g., laptop, IP controlled projector, AMX
ICSLan EXB device).
Tip: Each toggle's ON position is toward the connectors on the rear of the DXLink Modules or toward the top
of the unit for the DXLink Wallplate TXs and Decor Wallplate TXs.
Binding DXLink TXs and RXs to Enova DGX Integrated Master
After you set the DIP switches per the table above, follow the instructions below to display the DXLink units in
NetLinx Studio.
To bind DXLink units to Enova DGX integrated Master:
1. Verify the following:
a.
Verify that an Ethernet/RJ-45 cable is connected from the Enova DGX Switcher's integrated Master to the
network (e.g., from the switcher's LAN 100/1000 port to a LAN).
b.
Verify that the target Transmitter or Receiver is connected via its DXLink connector to a DXLink Input or
Output Board (respectively) on the switcher.
c.
Verify that the switcher is powered on.
2. Launch NetLinx Studio and open the OnLine Tree.
3. Bind the target Transmitter or Receiver to the integrated Master:
a.
Select and right-click the TX or RX.
b.
From the context sensitive menu, select Network Bind/Unbind Device (be sure the check box is selected).
c.
Click OK.
