Page 9: Operating Instructions
3 Operating instructions 3.1 Powering on/off, Standby-operation When DXS-XX is connected to a hot wall socket, it will start and boot automatically. All button LEDs will flash for a short period of time and the text display will show a short welcome message (from the bootloader). After that, the unit trys to reach a TCP/IP network (if cable connected). -

turn off the LED. The text diplay will show a minus sign under the selected output number, to show the “off”- connection. 3.4 Save and recall of presets You can save or recall a routing setup any time you like. By saving a preset, you can preserve a complex setup for later use. -
Page 11: Menu Functions
3.5 Menu functions 3.5.1 Menu system Using the built in menu system, more complex system functions are available. To handle the menu system, you have to use the four cursor buttons (arrows up, down, left, right) and the “en- ter” button, located right of the “right” cursor button. With those buttons, you can navigate through a menu tree, to access more complex system functions. -

Setting DHCP=1, you determine the unit to try to adress a DHCP server in your local network after boot/reset. If there is a DHCP server, and it is responding, the unit will assign the network configuration (reported by DHCP server) to it’s network interface. -

Remark: The preset stored the last before system power down will be used as boot configuration after power reset. This means, that if you modify the routing AFTER the last “pre_save” command (or a similar menu/web command), you will loose your modifications after power down. 3.6.2.15 reboot Format: reboot Reboots the systeme immediately. -

3.7 Webserver The built-in webserver can be reached using any browser: http://(ip-adr) If DXS-XX is connected to a TCP/IP network, you can query the current IP adress using the menu tree unter: STATUS/ NETWORK STATUS/ IP Because DXS-XX uses “Javascript” as http extension, your browser must support Javascript. Manufacturer quali- fies current versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, Opera and FireFox. -
Page 23: Safety Requirements
4 Safety requirements DXS-XX unit only may be operated on mains systems having power earth (PE) for grounding the system chassis. The power earth contact of the power cord never must be covered or de- stroyed when plugged to the unit or the mains outlet. 5 Electromagentic compatibility (EMC) DXS-XX was tested and qualified sucessfully according CENELEC EN 60601-1-2 (1993). -
Page 24: Technical Manual
7 Technical manual 7.1 DVI routing DXS-XX is build to route DVI video signals (and their implicit display info) from inputs to outputs. It approves DVI1.0 standard, having the maximum transfer rate of 1.65GBit/s on every video data differential line. With that, you can have video resolutions of up to 1920x1200 Pixels (at 60Hz repetition rate) on each of the inputs and outputs. - Page 25 respect to the input), the new EDID is copied to that input and the source will receive a hotplug event to read the new EDID data. If the input is unused (i.e. not routed to ANY output), then consequently there is no EDID available at that input, and the presence signal (hotplug) is removed for that input.
