Instruction Manual – Enova DGX 8/16/32 Digital Media Switchers

LAN 100/1000 Port

The LAN 100/1000 (Ethernet) port, which provides the connection from the integrated NetLinx Master

to a LAN, is located on the rear of the enclosure on the right-hand side of the CPU.

Important: Because the LAN 100/1000 port is the single, shared connection to the LAN for all

connected DXLInk Transmitters and Receivers, if the LAN port on the Transmitters and Receivers

will be used for network connectivity, a Gigabit (1000 Mbps) LAN connection between the network

and the Enova DGX Switcher’s LAN port is strongly recommended. Lower speed connections may

result in inferior performance of the embedded Ethernet network.

Important: The two RJ-45 connectors at the far left of the CPU should only be used to connect

autonomous devices (to prevent network loops); do not

attempt to use either of them for a TCP/IP

connection or to link enclosures.

Cable Requirements and Pinouts

 RJ-45 link cable (either crossover or straight-through) – required to connect an

Enova DGX Switcher to a LAN.

Note: Cable can be wired to either T568A (see below) or T568B (on the next page), as long as the

wiring is consistent on both ends.

T568A

The following table lists the pinouts, signals, and pairing for the Ethernet connector when wired for

straight-through cable according to T568A.

FIG. 25 shows the connections for Ethernet RJ-45 connector/cable per T568A.
