Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

ESD WARNING

To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are properly grounded before touching any internal materials.

When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD grounding procedures must be followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive smocks, and conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose. Anyone performing field maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord. These items should not be manufactured locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely d rain static charges, without increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.

* HDMI Boards require a cable adapter to support single-link DVI signals. ** For a DVI Board to support embedded audio on an HDMI signal, the EDID must be updated. *** Supported analog video signals include RGBHV, RGBS, RGsB, and Y/Pb/Pr in and RGBHV out. ^ Signals supported by DXLink Twisted Pair Boards depend on the type of DXLink Twisted Pair TXs and RXs used. ^^ Signals supported by DXLink Fiber Boards depend on the type of DXLink Fiber TXs and RXs used.

NOTE: The DXLink Twisted Pair Boards also support embedded power, NetLinx control, and Ethernet. The DXLink Fiber Boards also support NetLinx control and Ethernet (Duplex units provide this by default; Simplex units require additional setup).

All signals are automatically converted to the destination device’s format, with DXLink Twisted Pair TXs and RXs used for transport of signals with DXLink Twisted Pair Boards and DXLink Fiber TXs and RXs used for transport of signals with DXLink Fiber Boards.

Input and Output Board Connectors

The connectors on the input and output boards are the attachment points for source and destination devices that connect to the system. Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the input connectors (for attaching sources) are on the left, and the output connectors (for attaching destinations) are on the right, with the exception of the DGX 6400 enclosure which has inputs on top and outputs on bottom.

Enova DGX 100 Series - Overview

Enova DGX Expansion Boards

Expansion boards work in conjunction with HDMI Boards, DVI Boards, DXLink Twisted Pair Boards, DXLink Fiber Boards to route audio with video and/or breakaway the audio (depending on the board). Enova DGX Switchers support three types of expansion boards:

Dante Audio Switching Boards (ASB-DAN) Audio Switching Boards (ASB) Audio Insert/Extract Board (AIE)

If the expansion board slots in an enclosure are empty, the slots can be used for expansion boards to expand the functionality of the system.

The procedure for installing/replacing Audio Switching Boards is the same as for the standard input/output boards. The procedure for the Audio Insert/Extract Board (which needs to be set for insertion or extraction) starts on page 178.

NOTE: Enova DGX expansion boards do not work in standard input or output board slots. Likewise, standard input or output boards do not work in expansion board slots.

Important Notes on Using Expansion Boards

ASB-DAN, ASB, and AIE boards are not compatible with one another and cannot be used in the same system. ASB and AIE boards use terminal block connectors to bring auxiliary audio into the system and/or out of the

system.

ASB-DAN/ASB and AIE numbering overlays are provided, which can be applied to the I/O board numbering plate

(see the relevant board chapter), which is across the top or down the center (depending on the enclosure).

Integrated NetLinx NX Master Functionality

The integrated NetLinx NX Master in Enova DGX enclosures is a NetLinx NX Controller.

Network Connection

The default IP address for the ICS LAN network is 198.18.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. The LAN 100/1000 (public network) and ICS LAN (private network) subnets must not overlap. If the LAN 100/1000 port is

configured such that its address space overlaps with the ICS LAN network, the ICS LAN network will be disabled. The DGX communicates with the 5002 device (and any endpoint in Auto-setup) via ICS LAN. Since those devices have

fixed static IP addresses on the ICS LAN network, you cannot change the 198.18 subnet information on the DGX platform of processors. You can only change the Host name and DHCP server settings.

Additionally, if connecting the Enova DGXs LAN 100/1000 port to an NX-x200 NX Integrated Controller's ICS LAN port, you MUST change the NX Master's ICS LAN port settings (via the SET ICSLAN telnet command) to choose a different subnet than the default 198.18.x.x or else the Enova DGXs 5002 switcher device (and any endpoint in Auto-setup) will not come online.

DHCP Server

The ICS LAN port has a built-in DHCP server. This DHCP server is enabled by default and will serve IP addresses to any connected devices set to DHCP mode. The DHCP server can be disabled from a Telnet session with the integrated NetLinx NX Master with the command: SET ICSLAN. The DHCP address range is fixed.

The server will provide addresses in the range 198.18.0.2 through 198.18.63.254. Devices using static IP addresses on the ICS LAN network should be set within the reserved static IP address range

of 198.18.64.1 through 198.18.127.254.

Do not use addresses in the range 198.18.128.1 through 198.18.129.254, as they are reserved for future upgrades. The server supports TX and RX (endpoint) Auto-setup with addresses in the range 198.18.130.1 through

198.18.135.254.

IMPORTANT: The ICS LAN port on the left of the CPU is for communication via Telnet of endpoint devices connected to the integrated Master in Auto-setup Mode. The ICS LAN allows the DGX to provide Private IP addresses to all connected endpoints while only consuming a single IP address on the Public LAN. However, that the ICS LAN port serves DHCP addresses to any connected device. If the ICS LAN is inadvertently connected to the Public LAN, devices also on the Public LAN may experience DHCP address conflicts.

Opening Public LAN and ICS LAN Sockets from Code

The integrated NetLinx NX Master opens sockets from NetLinx or Java code on whichever network has an IP subnet that matches the address provided in the command to open the socket. No other indications are provided for which network is in use, only whether the socket is successfully created.

Integrated NetLinx NX Master Features

The integrated NetLinx NX Master supports the following features:

Automatic configuration of AMX devices via ICS LAN (private network) Link-local fallback in DHCP mode (IPv4 only) Wired 802.1x (security for protected networks) IPv6 network addressing ID Pushbutton Case sensitive file system Differences in DEFINE_PROGRAM execution USB Program port driver for Windows 7 and Windows 8 Telnet Commands for the Enova DGX 100 Series NetLinx NX Master

Automatic Configuration of AMX Devices via ICS LAN

When an ICS LAN capable endpoint device (e.g., a DXLink Twisted Pair Transmitter connected to a DXLink Twisted Pair Input Board) is initially connected, the integrated Master sends ICS LAN messages to the device and conducts automatic configuration (auto-setup), after which the device reboots.

If the Master is set to serve DHCP addresses and the device is set to DHCP addressing mode, a stable connection is assured. Since these are the factory default settings for the devices, automatic configuration is the expected behavior for all new equipment.

Even after being automatically configured for a Master in this manner, if the device is disconnected and reconnected to a different Master, its old configuration will be forgotten and it will establish a new configuration with the new Master to which it has been connected. Once connected, the device can also be configured for a different connection mode if desired.

Enova DGX 100 Series - Overview

Enova Digital Media Switchers - Hardware Reference Manual

Device auto-setup status is discoverable via NetLinx Studio such that Auto-setup device IP addresses reside in the

198.18.x.x space where the first "x" represents either 130 (input side) or 134 (output side) and the second "x" represents an individual port number.

Transmitter endpoints: 198.18.30.x (where x is the input channel) Receiver endpoints: 198.18.134.x (where x is the output channel)

Device numbering in NetLinx Studio places auto-setup devices on the input side in the range 45001 to 45999 and devices on the output side in the range 46001 to 46999.

Link-local Fallback in DHCP Mode (IPv4 Only)

When the integrated Master’s public LAN IP addressing mode is set to DHCP, it will attempt to acquire an IPv4 address from a DHCP server for approximately one minute after boot. If the Master does not receive a valid DHCP address in that time (e.g. if a DHCP server is not found), it will fall back to an IPv4 address in the link-local range.

NOTE: Link-local is not an operational mode for the Master; it is a temporary addressing scheme to permit access over the network so that IP settings can be modified. Do not commission the Master with a link-local IP address.

The default link-local address is 169.254.x.y, where x and y are the least significant two octets of the MAC address. The Master will first verify that this address is not taken by another device on the network. If the address is taken, the Master uses a standard algorithm to find an available IP address in the link-local range.

When the Master is using a link-local IP address, the status light will blink once per second. If the Master’s network settings remain in DHCP mode, it will attempt to acquire a DHCP address every five minutes until successful. After each failed attempt to acquire a DHCP address, the Master will execute the link-local algorithm and may not fall back to the same link-local IP address.

Wired 802.1x Support

The integrated NetLinx NX Master supports 802.1X, an IEEE Standard for Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). The Master acts as a supplicant (client device) to an 802.1X enabled network and presents customer-provided X.509 certificates to be allowed access to protected networks.

Support for IPv6 Network Addressing

The integrated NetLinx NX Master fully supports IPv6 network addressing. If the LAN 100/1000 port is connected to an IPv6 capable network, it will self-select an appropriate IPv6 address based on the discovered address settings of the network to which it is attached.

The Master simultaneously supports IPv4 network addressing. This means any Master may have more than one valid IP address: one IPv4 and one or more IPv6 addresses. When opening sockets from NetLinx or Java code, no unique command is available to indicate that you are providing an IPv4 or IPv6 network address. As long as the provided IP address is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address, the Master will utilize the correct addressing protocol automatically.

ID Pushbutton

The ID Pushbutton functions performed depend on when and for how long the ID Pushbutton is pressed and held. The integrated Master includes ID Pushbutton functionality for selecting a static or DHCP address, performing a factory default reset, and restoring the factory firmware image (for instructions, see page 44).

Case Sensitive File System

All file names on the integrated Master are case sensitive. This includes all user files created or used within NetLinx or Java code. If your legacy code generates an error when accessing a file, it is likely due to inconsistent use of case in the filename.

IMPORTANT: If you have legacy code that uses files, verify that every reference to each file is consistent with regard to case.

USB Program Port Driver

The integrated NetLinx NX Master is configurable for communication with a PC over the switcher’s USB Program port. On Enova DGX 100 Series Switchers, the USB Program port includes pre-loaded drivers for use with a PC running either Windows 7 or Windows 8.

The integrated NetLinx NX Master utilizes a USB (mini-AB) Program port for configuration and programming via a connected PC. The required USB driver installs automatically with NetLinx Studio v4.0 or later.

Because a PC COM port can only be used for a single process at a time, having a terminal window open using the COM port assigned to that USB connection will prevent any other communication to the Master over that same USB connection, including refreshing the OnLine Tree and transferring files. We recommend using the front control panel to discover the IP address of the Master, modifying the IP address via the USB Program port if necessary, and then connecting over Ethernet to the new IP address. For additional information, see page 58.

Differences in DEFINE_PROGRAM Execution

Due to differences in the underlying architecture of the integrated Master, changing variables in the DEFINE_PROGRAM section of code can negatively impact program performance.

If you have legacy NetLinx code that does change a variable in this section, timing differences very likely will cause your code to run slower and appear less responsive on the Master.

Configuration Information and Control Options

Switching Configuration Information

The configuration file stored on the CPU contains routing and control information for the AMX Enova Routing System.

NOTE: The configuration file is automatically generated by the system based on its hardware – input and output boards, expansion boards, front control panel, CPU, etc. If boards are added during runtime, they are immediately added to the system’s configuration.

From the factory, the configuration normally contains three virtual matrices (VMs) for switching signals:

VM 0 = default (System Configuration interface - controlled via Switch Mode: A/V) VM 1 = video signals (System Configuration interface - controlled via Switch Mode: Video) VM 2 = audio signals (System Configuration interface - controlled via Switch Mode: Audio)

Embedded Audio Signals

Embedded audio signals switch with the video channels.

Through the use of Audio Switching Boards or Dante Audio Switching Boards and the System Configuration

interface or ICSP commands, switched audio can be digitally processed (e.g., gain, volume, balance) and switched onto another digital signal, becoming embedded audio on that signal. For more information about Digital Signal Processing (DSP) options, see page 150 for Dante Audio Switching Boards or see page 164 for Audio Switching Boards,

Through the use of the Audio Insert/Extract Board, embedded audio can be extracted and external audio matrix

switches can be executed (using a separately purchased audio matrix switcher like the Precis DSP) and then reinserted post-switch on the output side. For more information, see the AIE Board chapter on page 175.
