Hardware Reference Manual – Enova DGX 100 Series Digital Media Switchers
Data Link-lost Mode
When Duplex hardware is configured for Bidirectional Mode (the default), but the data return path has been removed or is not
connected, the hardware is in Data Link-lost Mode. In Data Link-lost Mode, the TX unit only sends audio and video via the
switcher’s input/output boards to the RX unit over a single fiber path, but the units/boards are actively ready for the addition of the
return path which will enable Bidirectional Mode. For example, an audio/video signal travels from a TX via the switcher’s input/
output boards to an RX and no signals are passed back to the TX, but the RX and input board’s return lasers still transmit light and
attempt to establish connections.
CAUTION: In Data Link-lost Mode, the data return path is disconnected but both transceivers’ lasers are still active. If left uncovered,
transceiver lasers may constitute a health hazard. This hazard should be avoided by restoring Bidirectional Mode (see page 122),
configuring DXLink Fiber Boards for Unidirectional Mode (see page 121), or covering exposed lasers.
IMPORTANT: When using Duplex hardware in mixed modes (where boards and their units are configured for different Directional
Modes) or using both Duplex and Simplex hardware (where the Duplex hardware is in Bidirectional Mode), we recommend that the
hardware be configured to avoid Data Link-lost Mode (see Caution above).
