Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Unpacking Tips
Before fully unpacking the Transmitters and Receivers, inspect the shipping box(es) for any signs of
damage. If a box is partially crushed or any sides have been broken open, notify the shipping agency
immediately and contact your AMX representative (see the warranty at www.amx.com).
Once unpacking is complete, closely check the physical condition of the units.
Collect all documentation.
Note: Please save the original shipping container and packing materials. AMX is not responsible for damage
caused by insufficient packing during return shipment to the factory. Shipping boxes are available; for details,
contact your AMX representative.
Setup Information
Setup Requirements
A PC with NetLinx Studio (v3.3 or later) installed.
An understanding of which DXLink Mode the system will be used in (see below and page 41).
An understanding of the DIP switch settings (see page 44).
When used with an Enova DGX Digital Media Switcher – The system’s power requirements must be
determined (see page 41).
When used with an Enova DVX Solution – The SEND_COMMANDs for enabling network activity (Ethernet
traffic) over the DXLink line must be used (see page 98).
Important: We recommend that DXLink equipment be installed by a technician with knowledge of networks
and experience with NetLinx Studio and its Telnet interface. NetLinx experience should include changing
device addresses, binding devices, updating firmware, etc.
The remainder of the “Setup Information” section covers information for system setup, power budget planning, network
loop concerns, DIP switch settings, mounting options, chassis grounding, cable requirements and recommendations
(including RJ-45 pinouts and LED behavior), and audio type precedence.
The specific installation’s requirements dictate the system setup, which generally takes one of the following three forms.
Endpoint Mode (Switcher) – One or more Transmitters and/or Receivers are connected to a switcher*
containing a Master (see below).
Endpoint Mode (Standalone) – A standalone DXLink TX/RX pair are connected directly to each other but,
in addition, either the TX or RX is connected to a NetLinx Central Controller via a LAN or directly to the
Controller (see page 40).
Extender Mode (Standalone) – A standalone DXLink TX/RX pair are connected directly to each other as a
simple extender solution (see page 41).
* The switcher can be either an Enova DGX Switcher or an applicable Enova DVX Solution (see “Product Compatibility
Tables” on page 12).
