Hardware Reference Manual – Enova DGX 100 Series Digital Media Switchers
To establish external serial control via the Control (DB-9 serial) port:
1. Plug one end of the null modem serial cable into the Control port on the enclosure.
2. Plug the other end of the serial cable into the serial port on the serial controller.
3. If not already on, apply power first to the switcher and then to the source and destination devices (see page 47).
CAUTION: To avoid system damage, follow the power-up sequence on page 47. We recommend attaching all power cords to a surge
protector and/or AC line conditioner.
4. Setup and run the desired method of control:
AMX Controller – For control programming information, see the specific controller’s
manual.
Terminal emulation* – Open the program, set the COM port settings
to match the default ones in the “Enova DGX Serial Port Settings”
table to the right.
* For terminal emulation via the serial port, use the terminal in NetLinx Studio (see below)
or another terminal emulation program.
Serial Communication Settings
If you are controlling the system with a serial controller, use serial communication software and make sure the baud rate is set
correctly for the system. The recommended settings (default settings) for serial communication with Enova DGX 100 Series
Switchers are listed in the table to the right. Supported baud rates are 115200 (default), 19200, 38400, and 57600. The settings
on the PC serial communication software and the enclosure must correspond to each other. If a change is required to make them
match, changing the PC’s settings is preferable. If you decide to change the enclosure’s settings instead, use NetLinx Studio.
Terminal Emulation via NetLinx Studio
For terminal emulation, use the terminal in NetLinx Studio (Tools/Terminal Session) or another terminal emulation program.
When power is applied to the enclosure, the terminal will display a one-line splash screen followed by “Ready.” The system is ready
to accept commands.
