Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Once the module is operating with a link-local address, it will periodically re-try DHCP and re-assign the IP to a valid
DHCP grant if successful.
At any time, if the module determines that its IP address has changed, it will disconnect from the Master (if necessary,
depending on the connection state) and then reconnect to the Master.
TCP/IP Address Configuration
DXLink Modules support IPV4 network addresses, gateway addresses, DNS server addresses, and network names. They
also support NDP (NetLinx Discovery Protocol) capabilities as well as IP discovery via NetLinx Studio.
Note: NDP is a device discovery method used by NetLinx Masters. With NDP Beacon enabled, the Master
will transmit NDP Beacons for AMX’s proprietary device discovery.
Telnet IP Configuration Commands
The SET IP and GET IP Telnet commands listed in the tables in Appendix B (which start on page 108) can be sent
directly to the device via a Telnet terminal session. These commands can be used for initial network configuration of the
DXLink Modules.
The default Telnet port is 23.
Telnet is enabled by default.
A value of 0 disables the telnet server.*
For details, see “Appendix B – Telnet (Terminal) Commands” on page 107. The appendix also includes a section on
“Master Connection Modes” on page 116.
* If you set the Telnet port to “0” to disable it, you will need to perform a factory reset using the ID Pushbutton to
re-enable it (see page 70).
External Master Versions
If the DXLink Twisted Pair TX or RX Module is bound to an external Master, we recommend using the versions listed in
the table below, which can be found on the product’s page at www.amx.com.
