Introduction
WELCOME
Thank you for choosing the AdderLink XD150FX extender modules. Using ber optic
links, these compact modules allow you to transfer the multiple connections listed
below up to 4 kilometers from a host computer (see Transmission distances on the
right).
The high grade screening employed within the metal cased enclosures combined with
the immunity from interference of the ber optic links make the AdderLink XD150FX
modules highly suitable for use in ‘noisy’ industrial environments.
AdderLink XD150FX extender modules provide support for:
• High quality single- or dual-link DVI digital video (up to 2560 x 2048 @60Hz),
• USB keyboard and mouse plus two other USB devices (up to USB 2.0),
• An RS232 serial device at speeds up to 115200 baud,
• Mono microphone,
• Stereo speakers,
• Line-level audio in/out connections.
Transmission distances
The choice of ber used with the AdderLink XD150FX modules has a considerable
effect on the distance over which operation can take place. Using multi-mode ber you
can achieve distances up to 400m (1,312 feet); whereas, by using single-mode ber (and
accompanying SFP modules), the achievable maximum distance is increased to 4km (2.5
miles):

Installation
LOCATIONS
Please consider the following important points when planning the position of the
AdderLink XD150FX modules:
• Situate the transmitter module close to the system to which it will be connected and
near to a source of mains power. Place the receiver module in similar close proximity
to the peripherals that it will connect with, plus a source of mains power.
• Consult the precautions listed within the Safety information section.
• Connections do not need to be carried out in the order given within this guide,
however, where possible connect the power in as a nal step.
CONNECTIONS
Installation involves linking the AdderLink XD150FX Transmitter module to various ports
on the host computer, while the AdderLink XD150FX Receiver module is attached to
your peripherals:

Each pair of AdderLink XD150FX modules are supplied together with SFP ber optic
modules of your choice (single or multi-mode). The ber optic cable used must match
the SFP type and also be of a suitable type for the distance being covered. See see
Transmission distances for details.
To make the ber optic link
IMPORTANT: Ensure the power supply is off/disconnected before inserting or removing
an SFP module.
1 Remove the SFP module from its protective packing and insert it fully into the empty
slot on the AdderLink XD150FX. The XD150FX transmitter slot is located on the
front panel; the XD150FX receiver slot is situated on the rear panel.

Note: In order to maintain a high level of condence in the ber
optic link, the SFP’s used must be those supplied by Adder: (SFPMM-LC-4G or SFP-SM-LC-4G).
If alternative parts are used, the system will detect this and will
ash the front panel LNK indicator.
To remove an SFP module
1 If tted, remove the ber optic connector from the SFP
module (press down on the upper tab of the ber optic
connector to release it).
2 Unclip the small wire extraction lever and open it out
(this action releases a locking tab and also provides a
grip point).

Conguration
ACCESSING THE MANAGEMENT APPLICATION
AdderLink XD150FX modules generally congure themselves automatically, collecting EDID information from the attached
monitor and passing it to the host computer. In most cases the modules will begin working together correctly as soon as they are
connected. Where conguration changes are required (or remote monitoring is required), the management application provides
an intuitive user interface.
To access the management application
1 Use a computer that is directly or indirectly (i.e. via a network switch) connected to the XD150FX transmitter module. If you
need to make a temporary connection, see right Ü
2 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the transmitter module. By default, the IP address is set to
192.168.1.22. If required, you can change the default IP address or alternatively, choose automated address selection by DHCP
server. See the Congure page.
3 If requested, enter the
registered password to log
on.
Note: The default user and
password are ‘admin’ and
‘password’ respectively.

immunity to electromagnetic disturbances.
European EMC directive 2014/30/EU
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A
computing device in accordance with the specications in the European standard
EN55032. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions may cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception. However, there is no guarantee that
harmful interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to correct the interference with one
or more of the following measures: (a) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
(b) Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. (c) Connect
the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected. (d) Consult the supplier or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Compliance Statement (United States)
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not
installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a class A computing device in accordance with
the specications in Subpart J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause
interference, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever
measures may be necessary to correct the interference. Changes or modications not
expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Canadian Department of Communications RFI statement
This equipment does not exceed the class A limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de la classe A prescrites dans le règlement sur le
brouillage radioélectriques publié par le ministère des Communications du Canada.
