TPX106 series extenders can supply remote power to each other over the TPX connector. They can be powered in one of the following ways:

1. Using a local 12V DC power adaptor for both the Transmitter (TX) and the Receiver (RX).

2. Using a local 12V DC power adaptor for the TX, which then sends power remotely to the RX via the TPX connection.

3. Using a local 12V DC power adaptor for the RX, which then sends power remotely to the TX via the TPX connection.

TPX107 series extenders fulfill the PoE PD standard, meaning the TPX port can receive power over the Ethernet line. They cannot send remote power to each other. They can be powered in one of the following ways:

1. Using a local 48V DC power adaptor for both the Transmitter (TX) and the Receiver (RX).

2. Using a compatible matrix board (like MX2M series with MX2M-4TPX-OB) to send remote power to the TX via the CATx (AVX) connection.

3. Using a compatible matrix board (like MX2M series with MX2M-4TPX-IB) to send remote power to the RX via the CATx (AVX) connection.

Transmitter Side:

1. TPX: Connect a CATx cable between the TPX output port of the transmitter and the TPX input port of the receiver.

2. HDMI in: Connect the source (e.g. media player) to the HDMI input port of the transmitter by a HDMI cable.

3. Ethernet: Connect the device to a LAN network.

4. IR out (Optional): For Infrared extension, connect an IR emitter to the IR OUT port of the transmitter.

5. RS-232 (Optional): Connect a device (e.g. media player) to the RS-232 port.

6. Power: Powering on the device is recommended as the final step. Check the Power Supply Options section for details.

Receiver Side:

1. TPX: Connect a CATx cable between the TPX output port of the transmitter and the TPX input port of the receiver.

2. HDMI out: Connect the sink (e.g. 4K TV) to the HDMI output port of the receiver by a HDMI cable.

3. Ethernet: Connect the device to a LAN network.

4. IR out (Optional): For Infrared extension, connect an IR emitter to the IR OUT port of the receiver.

5. RS-232 (Optional): Connect a device (e.g. 4K TV) to the RS-232 port.

6. Power: Powering on the device is recommended as the final step. Check the Power Supply Options section for details.

Insert the DC plug and twist it 90° clockwise to lock.

Note: Only HDMI-TPX-106 series extenders are built with the locking DC input connector.

Optional accessories are available for mounting:

• Under-desk mounting kit: Mounts a single device on any flat surface (e.g., furniture).

• Under-desk double mounting kit: Mounts two devices side-by-side on any flat surface.

• 1U high rack shelf: Provides mounting holes for fastening two half-rack or four quarter-rack sized units (the transmitter and receiver are quarter-rack sized).

To mount, use the two mounting holes with inner thread on the bottom side of the device. Fasten the device using the screws enclosed with the mounting accessory. Using different (e.g. longer) screws may cause damage to the device.

It is highly recommended to use CAT6a AWG24 or higher category 10G Ethernet cable for the TPX (AVX) connection between the transmitter and the receiver. Using lower specification cables (e.g., AWG28 Ethernet cable) may reduce the extension distance significantly.

The HDMI-TPX-100 series extenders use a 3-pole Phoenix connector for RS-232.

Connecting to a DCE (Data Circuit-terminating Equipment) device (e.g., modem, using D-SUB 9):

• Connect the TX pin (transmit) of the extender’s Phoenix connector to Pin 2 (RX data receive) of the D-SUB 9 connector.

• Connect the RX pin (receive) of the extender’s Phoenix connector to Pin 3 (TX data transmit) of the D-SUB 9 connector.

• Connect the G pin (ground) of the extender’s Phoenix connector to Pin 5 (Ground) of the D-SUB 9 connector.

Connecting to a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device (e.g., computer, using D-SUB 9):

• Connect the TX pin (transmit) of the extender’s Phoenix connector to Pin 3 (TX data transmit) of the D-SUB 9 connector.

• Connect the RX pin (receive) of the extender’s Phoenix connector to Pin 2 (RX data receive) of the D-SUB 9 connector.

• Connect the G pin (ground) of the extender’s Phoenix connector to Pin 5 (Ground) of the D-SUB 9 connector.

Use the Lightware Device Updater (LDU2) software.

1. Download and install LDU2 software from the company’s website (www.lightware.com).

2. Ensure the device is connected to the network via the Gigabit Ethernet port.

3. Launch LDU2 and follow its instructions to find the device and install the latest firmware package, which can also be found on the website.

The EDID button on the Transmitter allows selection between two EDID emulation modes:

• Short press: Switches between Transparent EDID and the stored user (Learned) EDID.

• Long press: Initiates the process to learn and store the EDID information from the connected display (sink device connected to the Receiver’s output).

Pay attention to the ventilation holes when designing the system setup. Ensure that the top and side ventilation holes are not covered to allow for proper passive cooling.
