UDM-RX02 Wiring and Connections

UDM-0102 and UDM-RX02 Operation/Reference Guide

Once the UDM-RX02 is switched on, use the Setup option in the UDM Browser Interface to configure
the Hub’s correct IP address.

The IP address may also be configured directly on the UDM-RX02, via the Serial port (refer to the
Backend Commands section on page 62).

SERIAL Port

The SERIAL port is available for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes.

The Serial port on the UDM-RX02 is an RJ12 connector, and requires a DB9-to-RJ12 adapter cable (FG-
RS01) to connect to a PC for Terminal control.

Refer to the Serial (RJ12) Port section on page 7 for pinout and transmission details.

IR Rx (IR Receiver) Port

The IR Rx port (see FIG. 12 on page 15) is used for creating new IR protocols, for use with centrally-
located IR devices.

Refer to the Protocols and IR Learning section on page 49 for details.

Connecting an External IR Receiver Module

If pass-through mode (where a device such as a DVD or VCR can be controlled via an Endeleo RC-02
remote control) is required then an IR03 Endeleo External IR Receiver Module will be needed to pick up
IR controls from the remote control.

Alternatively if the UDM-RX02 is to be compensated via a remote control, then an IR Receiver Module
is also needed.

IR Transmit (IR Tx) Port

The IR Tx port (see FIG. 12 on page 15) issues IR commands from the UDM-RX02 to a controlled
device. One IR device (such as DVD player or VCR) can be connected to the UDM-RX02 via the IR Tx
port, and controlled via the UDM-0102’s WebConsole or via remote control.

Connecting an IR Device to the IR Tx Port

To issue IR commands to the display device such as power on or power off, an IR01 Endeleo IR Emitter
Module (FG-IR01) is needed.

1.

Connect the IR Emitter Module cable to the IR Tx connector on the UDM-RX02.

2.

Run the other end of the cable to the display device, and attach the IR Emitter over the device’s IR
sensor by removing the cover on the reverse side of the IR Emitter.

3.

The UDM-RX02 is now capable of issuing IR commands to the display device.

IR commands for each device on the system have to be learned by the UDM-0102 in order to function
properly. Refer to the Protocols and IR Learning section on page 49 on how to learn a device’s IR
commands.

IR devices controlled via the IRTX ports are typically installed within the same
equipment rack as the UDM-RX02.

Ensure the position of the device corresponds to the position assigned in the Devices
option of the UDM-0102’s WebConsole.
