Ethernet Interface
Serial and infra messages can be sent and received via Control Ethernet port (See more details about it in
Serial Interface and Infra Interface section).
INFO: In MMX8x4-HT400MC and MMX8x4-HT420M models, TPS lines do not transmit Ethernet signal,
model Ethernet signal transmission is possible via TPS lines, but it needed physical link between the
boards. For more details see the the next section.
Ethernet commands can be transmitted on the TPS input and output ports if there is a physical link between
the motherboard and the input or the output board.
Ethernet Link to TPS I/O
The other TPS input and output ports are connected to the switch via a converter. (This converter is able to
separate the incoming TPS stream into video, audio, RS-232, power and Ethernet signal. These signals are
packed into the TPS signal by the converter, as well.)
