Quick Start Guide

DXLink™ Multi-Format Wallplate Transmitter and

DXLink™ Multi-Format Decor Style Wallplate Transmitter (US)

Overview

The DXLink Multi-Format Wallplate TX and DXLink Multi-Format Decor Style Wallplate

TX are used in conjunction with switchers that support DXLink Technology for

transmission of HDMI or analog video over twisted pair cable. Both Transmitters are

compatible with the DXLink HDMI RX and support InstaGate Pro® Technology. The

Instruction Manual – DXLink Twisted Pair Transmitters /Receiver contains complete

documentation (including full specifications and supported input and output

resolutions); for details, see www.amx.com.

General Specifications

* “Common building” is defined as: Where the walls of the structure(s) are physically

connected and the structure(s) share a single ground reference.

Installation

System Setup

These Transmitters receive an HDMI signal (or DVI via a cable adapter) or an analog

video signal plus an audio signal from the source device. The audio can be either

digital audio embedded with the HDMI signal or analog stereo audio. Both the video

and audio are transmitted over twisted pair cable to a DXLink Input Board in a switcher

that supports DXLink Technology (see the example in FIG. 2). From the Input Board,

the signal can be routed through an output board. If the output board is a DXLink

Output Board, a DXLink HDMI RX is required between the board and the destination.

DIP Switch #3 Toggle

Before mounting the Transmitter – If a network connection is required, DIP

switch #3 Toggle must be set to ON. #3 Toggle is shipped in the OFF position. When

flipped ON (up), the Transmitter will attempt a DHCP connection. Flipping the #3

Toggle ON is the only way to access the Wallplate TX and Decor TX in NetLinx Studio.

For both types of Transmitters, #1, #2, and #4 Toggles are non-functional (must

remain OFF).

IP Addressing Modes

DHCP Mode (enabled when #3 Toggle is flipped ON)

In DHCP Mode, the Transmitter attempts to get a DHCP lease (consisting of an IP

address, gateway, and other network parameters). If the attempt fails, the Transmitter

configures itself for a link-local address, but periodically re-tries DHCP and re-assigns

the IP to a valid DHCP grant if successful. At any time, if the Transmitter determines

that its IP address has changed, it will disconnect and reconnect to the Master.

Static IP Mode (set with ID button or Telnet command)

With #3 Toggle set to ON, press ID for 10 seconds to assign an address of 192.168.1.2

or use a Telnet command to set unit to Static IP Mode (see the Instruction Manual).

Mounting the Wallplate TX and Decor Wallplate TX

Wallplate TX –

The holes in the Wallplate TX mounting bracket are designed to

accommodate a variety of gang boxes using 2 or 4 screws (standard and metric are

provided). Be sure to orient the mounting bracket as shown in FIG. 4.

DXLink Power

Note: For Wallplate use in an

Enova DGX system, use the

Enova DGX Configuration Tool

located at www.amx.com/enova

to determine power require-

ments of a configuration and

whether any DXLink units should

be powered with local power.

• Power must be supplied by a DXLink Power sourcing

device such as an Enova DGX 8/16/32 or

compatible Enova DVX (3155HD or 2155HD) or

PDXL-2 (FG1090-170) or PS-POE-AT-TC

(FG423-84). AMX does not support the use of any

other PoE injectors as these may potentially damage

the DXLink equipment.

• To use PDXL-2 or PS-POE-AT-TC as a power

source, Wallplates require firmware v1.2.40 or later.

Technical Ground

If the system is experiencing problems with delivery of DXLink signals to/from an

Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher or Enova DVX Solution, adding a ground wire from

the TX/RX to the switcher may improve performance (see FIG. 7). Technically this type

of grounding is only required when a DXLink Transmitter or Receiver is connected to

an ungrounded device, but this added grounding measure can be used at the

discretion of the installer (for instructions, see the product manual).
