Serial Data Transfer and IR Flow Control
The illustration in FIG. 58 shows the bidirectional serial data transfer and IR flow control when an Enova Digital Media
Switcher is used with DXLink Fiber units in Endpoint Mode. The switcher has an integrated NetLinx Central Control
Processor which provides native AMX control at each remote location fed by a DXLink Fiber unit. Control is sent over
fiber cable (via the DXLink Fiber ports).
Replacing an SFP+ Fiber Optic Transceiver
Both multimode and single mode transceivers on DXLink Fiber Duplex boards and on DXLink Fiber units support
bidirectional communication (Bidirectional Mode).
Bidirectional communication over DXLink Fiber includes transmission of the following:
Digital video and audio
Native NetLinx control
IR
RS-232
USB keyboard and mouse
Ethernet (100 Mbps)
Multimode SFP+ Fiber Optic Transceiver
The multimode SFP+ fiber optic transceiver is used on DXLink Fiber, Duplex Boards. Depending on the transceiver
model, it will have a black latch or a black label on the latch top with white triangles showing data flow direction.
The multimode SFP+ fiber optic transceiver requires multimode fiber optic cable, which allows numerous optical waves
to transverse the optic core. Multimode fiber optic cable has a significantly larger optical core (which results in a higher
dispersion rate) and results in comparative shorter distance runs than the single mode cable.
