4. MODEX concept

4.1. Module code sequence

Each MODEX unit has a 15-character-long code sequence which identifies the modules
built in the frame. The code sequence consists of 5x3 blocks of characters. The
3-character-long blocks are the last three characters of a module's part code (this code is
also painted on the module/frame).
The following example represents the structure of the code sequence:
The module code – that is displayed in idle state – of above MODEX unit is:
103227410715721
103: (9161 0103) MODEX-OPTS-TX
227: (9161 0227) MODEX-CON-NT-OPTS
410: (9161 0410) MODEX-AV-HDMI-DVI-4K-IM
715: (9161 0715) MODEX-IF-RS232-IR
721: (9161 0721) MODEX-IF-AUD
Info: The order of the modules and codes are determined by Lightware.

4.2. Module layout

The layout of the modules is fixed so as the order of
the module codes. B, D and E letters determine the
module positions which help to identify them in LW3
protocol.
C means the physical module (PHY), which is
integrated into the Core module in MODEX-OPT
extenders.
The letters are also displayed in the built-in website
in the Settings menu, Status submenu, see section
7.8.3
7.8.7
