AMX DXF-TX-MMD Instruction Manual page 54

Note: Power, IR, and RS-232 ports are covered in their own sections.
Important: Compatibility between hardware requires matching model types: multimode to multimode and
single mode to single mode.
Important: The illustration below shows a Duplex Receiver wired with dual LC fiber cables. In both Duplex
and Simplex hardware: for each LC fiber cable, be sure to verify that the individual wire from the transceiver's
TX label on one end of the run connects to the transceiver's RX label on the other end.
To attach signal, transport, and control cables to the DXLink Fiber RX:
Fiber optic transceiver
FIG. 21 Attach signal and control cables to DXLink Fiber RX
1.
When attaching a fiber optic cable:
a.
Clean the end face on the fiber cable following the manufacturer's recommendations.
b.
Fiber optic transceiver – Remove the dust plug (save for further use).
c.
Attach the cable to the fiber optic transceiver* (for transport from the switcher or directly from the TX).
Always grasp the fiber connector housing to plug (or unplug) a fiber optic cable (depending on the housing, a
click may be heard; if not, lightly tug to be sure the connection is tight).
2.
HDMI Out connector – Attach the HDMI cable that goes to the destination device.**
* When cabling a simplex transceiver, we recommend covering the unused port.
** DVI cable can be used instead (via an HDMI-to-DVI cable adapter).
Caution: When you make the connection in Step 3, be careful not to create a network loop (see page 43).
3.
ICS LAN 10/100 connector (optional) – Attach twisted pair cable from this connector to LAN. Note the #1 Toggle
on the DIP switch must be set to ON to enable this port. (For NetLinx programming information, see page 77.)
4.
USB port (optional) – This port is for sending keyboard / mouse commands to a PC. You can either connect this
port to a hub using a USB mini-A cable and then connect keyboard and mouse to the hub or connect directly to a
keyboard or mouse using the appropriate mini-A plug adapter cable. The port's default is "enabled." The USB LED
on the front monitors this port. For USB support information, see page 26. For USB SEND_COMMAND
information, see page 93.
5.
Stereo Audio Out connector (optional) – Plug the audio cable (that goes to the audio destination) into the stereo
audio jack. For audio precedence information, see page 51. For information on audio SEND_COMMANDs
(including enabling the analog audio format), see page 81.
Note: When digital audio and/or analog stereo audio cables are plugged into the TX, the Audio LEDs on the
front of both units turn green to show that audio is present and is being incorporated into the HDMI line and is
also available on the DXLink Fiber RX at the Stereo Audio Out connector.
Note: The ID Pushbutton places the DXLink Fiber RX in ID Mode for setting the NetLinx ID (device only) and
provides additional functionality, such as placing the device in Static IP Mode or DHCP Mode. For information,
see page 68.
Tip: If scaling adjustments are necessary, use SEND_COMMANDs (see page 77). DGX Configuration
Software via the Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher outputs can be used for scaling.
