Enova DGX 100 Series - Overview Input and output channel numbers correspond to the connectors and are located as follows: Enova DGX 800/1600 – on the vertical numbering plate (metal strip) between input and output connectors. Enova DGX 3200 – on the horizontal numbering plate (metal strip) directly above connectors.
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.
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.
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.
Audio Switching Boards When Audio Switching Boards (ASB or ASB-DAN) are in the system, the Enova DGX 100 Series supports audio breakaway on VM 2 (via the Audio Switch Mode on the System Configuration interface). The system can route the embedded audio from any digital video input to any digital video output.
Enova DGX 100 Series and Enova DGX 8/16/32/64: Differences The Enova DGX 100 Series has incorporated a number of technological advancements which resulted in changes that may be of interest to users of previous Enova DGX products. In order to assist these users, we have included the table below which captures some of the main system differences (highlighted cells represent changes that may affect programming code in existing systems).
Displays Integrated Master info and provides basic audio support (for embedded audio only) System Diagnostic Options The two system diagnostic options for the Enova DGX 100 Series are the Status page in the System Configuration interface and DGX_SHELL commands. System Configuration Interface - Status Page The Status page in the System Configuration interface (Switcher/Status) displays status for the power supplies, fans, CPU, I/O boards, and expansion boards (see page 141).
Enova DGX 100 Series - Overview InstaGate Pro Technology InstaGate Pro Technology eliminates latency (time required for authentication) in the switcher for HDCP negotiations with the displays in a system. The latency is typically experienced when HDCP authenticates HDMI source and destination devices every time a new switching combination between a source device and display occurs.

Installation and Setup Attaching Video Input and Output Cables Input and output connectors are the attachment points for source and destination devices that connect to the system. Enova DGX 800 Viewed from the rear of the enclosure, the Enova DGX 800/1600 input boards (for attaching sources) are on the left, and the output boards (for attaching destinations) are on the right.
System Setup for Using the Integrated NetLinx NX Master The Enova DGX 100 Series Switcher has an integrated NetLinx NX Central Control Processor (Master) that establishes its public LAN (Local Area Network) connection through the LAN 100/1000 port on the CPU. The Master provides a System Configuration interface that allows you to make various configuration settings via a web browser on any PC connected to the public LAN.
Installation and Setup RJ-45 Ports The Enova Series CPU has two RJ-45 ports: the ICS LAN port on the left and the LAN 100/1000 port on the right. The ICS LAN port acts as a DHCP server (private LAN) and the LAN 100/1000 port acts as a DHCP client (public LAN) with each port on a separate network.
The port is used for peer-to-peer protocol for both Master-to-Master and Master-to-device 1319 (UDP/TCP) communications. This type of communication is used by various AMX products for communication among themselves (see page 204). Note: The integrated Master can only be configured to use Port 1319, and the ICSP cannot be disabled.
Installation and Setup Avoiding Network (Ethernet) Loops Only one connection to the Public LAN is permitted within a switching system with DXLink support. NOTE: This applies to systems with DXLink Twisted Pair and/or DXLink Fiber Boards. Network loops must be avoided. A network loop is created when the enclosure and one or more DXLink Modules or Wallplates within the system are connected to the same Public LAN as the Enova DGX.
To prevent the possibility of the IP address changing at power up, you can change the DHCP address to a static IP address (see the NetLinx NX Central Controllers WebConsole & Programming Guide at www.amx.com). The integrated Master’s IP address is available via the control panel at Setup Options/Master Info/IP Address.
HTML5 features NOTE: User experience may differ due to browser support for HTML5. Setting up the system to use AMX’s System Configuration interface requires completing the following three items. Detailed instructions for each item are given.
