Integrating DXLink TXs and RXs in NetLinx Studio

DXLink Transmitters and Receivers must have their DIP switch toggles set before they will display as

part of a Enova DGX system in NetLinx Studio. In NetLinx Studio, the DXLink TXs and RXs can be

bound to the integrated Master by right-clicking on the device and selecting Network Bind/Unbind

Device.

DIP Switch Toggles

The following table contains some of the most common scenarios for setting up DXLink Transmitters

and receivers with an Enova DGX Switcher. Find the scenario in the table that you want to use and

set the DIP switches accordingly. The DIP switches are on the bottom of the DXLink Modules, on the

rear of the DXLink Wallplate, and on the front of the DXLink Decor Style Wallplate (hidden by front

cover plate). A detailed description of functions for each toggle is provided in the Instruction Manual –

DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver at www.amx.com.

* Connect the ICS LAN 10/100 port of the DXLink unit to the network device (e.g., laptop, IP controlled projector,

AMX ICSLan EXB device).

Tip: Each toggle’s ON position is toward the connectors on the rear of the DXLink Modules or

toward the top of the unit for the DXLink Wallplate TXs and Decor Wallplate TXs.

Binding DXLink TXs and RXs to Enova DGX Integrated Master

After you set the DIP switches per the table above, follow the instructions below to display the DXLink

units in NetLinx Studio.

To bind DXLink units to Enova DGX integrated Master:

Verify the following:

a. Verify that an Ethernet/RJ-45 cable is connected from the Enova DGX Switcher’s integrated

Master to the network (e.g., from the switcher’s LAN 100/1000 port to a LAN).

b. Verify that the target Transmitter or Receiver is connected via its DXLink connector to a

DXLink Input or Output Board (respectively) on the switcher.

c. Verify that the switcher is powered on.

2. Launch NetLinx Studio and open the OnLine Tree.

3. Bind the target Transmitter or Receiver to the integrated Master:

a. Select and right-click the TX or RX.

b. From the context sensitive menu, select Network Bind/Unbind Device (be sure the check box is

selected).

c. Click OK.

Note: For additional information on DXLink Modules and Wallplates, see the “Instruction Manual –

DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver.”
