Output On/O Function
The HEX31WP-TX features a variety of ways that the unit can be automated to, or allow for, the powering of the display
connected to the HDBaseT™ receiver.
Output On/O Button
The Output On/O button can be programmed to power on, or o, the display connected to the HDBaseT™ Receiver
via CEC, IR or RS-232 as required by the user. The default setting on the unit is enabled for CEC (Consumer Electronic
Control), but disabled for IR and RS-232. When triggered, the Display On/O button will be illuminated. When removing
the last source device connection from the HEX31WP-TX, the display will (by default) remain powered.
The default function can be disabled (or re-enabled) as required - see below. Or refer to the RS-232 command section
of this user manual on page 08 for the full list of function commands.
Output On/O via CEC
As outlined above, the HEX31WP-TX wallplate, by default, will send out a Power On command via CEC automatically
when a video signal is sensed by the unit.
To disable this automatic feature via RS-232, send the following command:
CECAUTO OFF
To enable this automatic feature via RS-232, send the following command:
CECAUTO ON
Output On/O via IR Learning
The HEX31WP-TX can be programed to issue an IR command, via HDBaseT™ to the connected display device, when it
either detects a new signal / loss of signal, or when pressing the Output On/O button on the wall plate. To learn an IR
command into the unit, follow these steps:
1) Press and hold both Output On/O and Auto Switching buttons simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds until
both of the button LED’s flash alternately.
2) Use the Output On/O button to select between the command to be set as follows:
• A quick flashing LED for the Output On/O button indicates that Output On mode is selected
• A slow flashing LED for the Output On/O button indicates that Output O mode is selected
3) Within 30 seconds, point the IR remote control that you wish to learn at the IR sensor on the HEX31WP-TX and press
the respective button on the IR remote control.
4) The Output On/O button LED will stop flashing, and remain lit to indicate that the IR command has been learnt.
5) Press and hold the Auto Switching button for approximately 3 seconds until both the button LED’s turn o to exit IR
learning mode. The unit will return to normal operation 5 seconds aer.
Output On/O via RS-232
To enable RS-232 commands to be triggered on signal sense/loss or via the Output On/O button, send the following
commands via RS-232 to the unit:
1) To configure a command to be sent on signal sense, use the following RS-232 command:
RS232ON y:z:a
2) To configure a command to be sent on signal loss, use the following RS-232 command:
RS232OFF y:z:a
where: y = a: ASCII, h: HEX
z = 1: 2400, 2: 4800, 3: 9600, 4: 19200, 5: 38400, 6: 57600 (Default), 7: 115200
a = RS-232 command to be sent
You can also disable the RS232ON/OFF command by replacing y:z:a with DISABLE in the above commands.
