Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
Scenario / DIP Switch Settings Table
The following table contains five of the most common scenarios for setting up Transmitters and
Receivers with other equipment or as a standalone pair. Find the scenario in the table that you want to
use and then set the Dip switches accordingly. The bullet point number refers to the toggle number
column that shows the setting. A detailed explanation of functions for each toggle is provided on the two
previous pages.
Note: The #1 and #2 Toggles do not apply to the Wallplate TX.
Tip: Each toggle’s ON position is toward the connectors on the rear of the DXLink Modules or
toward the top of the unit for the DXLink Wallplate Transmitters (see page 36).
Important: When connecting a Transmitter or a Receiver in a standalone pair to a Master (or Virtual
Master) for upgrade purposes, the settings for Scenario 4 in the table above must be used.
