Connection of Serial Devices
General Information
There are two types of devices in general serial communication:
▪Data Terminal Equipment: Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) is an
end instrument that converts user information into signals or
reconverts received signals. Typical DTE devices: computers,
LCD touch panels and control systems.
▪Data Circuit-terminating Equipment: Data Circuit-terminating
Equipment (DCE) is a device that sits between the DTE and a
data transmission circuit. It is also called data communication
equipment and data carrier equipment. Typical DCE devices:
Among others the pin assignment is different between DTE and DCE.

EDID memory is non-volatile and consists of four blocks, each for
different purpose. These blocks are:
▪Factory preset EDIDs
▪User saved EDIDs
▪Dynamic EDID (EDID of last connected sink on the DDC output
port)

INFO: UMX-OPT-TX150R can handle both 128 Byte EDID and 256
Byte extended EDID structures.
EDIDs Are Referred with Rotary Switches
In the second case EDID is mentioned with the rear panel rotary
switches. EDIDs are numbered from 0 on each rotary, and they can
be referred with hash symbol, and the number of the desired EDID.
(U01), and #0 refers to the display device’s EDID (called Dynamic or
Last attached monitor’s EDID) on the output (on the DDC output).
ATTENTION! Emulated EDIDs can be switched with the rotary
switches only.
The Assigning Table
To help understand the EDID memory structure. See the table of
Factory EDID List. It shows all the EDIDs, their short descriptions and
their references.
All EDIDs (including factory presets; user programmable memories
and EDID at SC MM output) can be switched and emulated at any of
the inputs.
