Dxlink Fiber Receivers - AMX DXF-TX-MMD Instruction Manual

DXLink Fiber Receivers

DXLink Fiber Receivers differ in the type of fiber optic transceiver they employ and the Directional Mode they use by
default. Duplex Receivers default to providing simultaneous, bidirectional data transfer or can be configured to provide
unidirectional data transfer. Simplex Receivers are designed to only receive a single direction of data flow and not
provide a return data flow. The DXF-RX-MMD and DXF-RX-MMS have a multimode transceiver (the latch is black or
has a black label), and the DXF-RX-SMD and DXF-RX-SMS have a single mode transceiver (the latch is blue or has a
blue label).
Note: If a DVI-D signal is used (via a DVI-to-HDMI cable), the advanced audio support from HDMI will not be
available out the Receiver.

Program port This port will be supported in a future firmware upgrade.
IR LEDs – TX and RX LEDs indicate active IR communication.*
232 (RS-232) LEDs – TX and RX LEDs indicate active serial communication (for details, see page 57).*
NetLinx LEDs – Link/Act LED indicates network communication activity. The Status LED indicates that the
LAN connection is active.*
CEC LED – CEC is not currently supported.
USB LED – When illuminated, the LED indicates that the USB port connection has been established (for
details, see page 26).*
ID Pushbutton – Places the unit in ID Mode for setting the NetLinx ID (device only) and provides additional
functionality, such as placing the unit in Static IP Mode or DHCP Mode (for details see page 68).
