1. Cut the DC output cord to the length needed.
2. Strip the jacket to expose 3/16inch (5mm) of the conductor wire (see figure3).
3. Ensure the connections have the correct polarity as shown in the figure above. The wire
with ridges is the ground wire.
4. Slide the exposed ends of the wire into the captive screw connector and secure by
tightening the screws.
5. Use the supplied tie wrap to strap the power cord to the extended tail of the connector.
ATTENTION:
The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is important. The
ideal length is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
La longueur des câbles exposés est importante lorsque l’on entreprend de
les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5 mm (3/16 inches). S’ils sont trop longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court­circuit. S’ils sont trop courts, ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés par les borniers à vis.
Do not tin the wire leads before installing into the connector. Tinned wires are
not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out. They may also break after being bent several times.
Ne pas étamer les conducteurs avant de les insérer dans le connecteur. Les
câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans le connecteur et pourraient être tirés. Ils peuvent aussi se casser après avoir été pliés plusieurs fois.

TP Cable Termination and Recommendations
It is vital that your Ethernet cable be the correct cable type and that it be properly terminated with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or CAT 6, unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors. Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 meters).
NOTES:
Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet.
Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The unit supports 10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet), 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), and 1000Mbps(1000Base-T — IEEE 802.3ab) half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet connections.
10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet requires CAT 5, CAT 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 7 UTP or STP
cable.
The Ethernet cable must be terminated as a patch (straight-through) cable and must be properly terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568-B wiring standard (see figure8).

Configuration

EDID
HDCP
NOTE: Transmitters can be configured via PCS (see the FOX3T201 PCS Help File)
and SIS commands (see SIS Configuration and Control starting on page17). Product help files are available in PCS when a device is connected or an offline device is selected.
The FOX3 uses EDID Minder, which ensures that a source device connected to the transmitter input continuously sees the EDID of a sink device, even if the sink is not physically connected. By default, the EDID is set to 1080p @ 60 Hz with 2-channel audio. There is one slot to upload custom EDID to the device.
Use PCS to upload EDID to the device (see the FOX3T201 PCS Help File).
Input
The HDMI input negotiates and authenticates HDCP with the source device if the source requires HDCP encryption. The authentication process is repeated whenever the stored EDID is changed or updated, which is indicated by pulling HPD low.
HDCP support can be disabled for each input independently using SIS command (see
HDCP authorized device on page25) or PCS (see the FOX3T201 PCS Help File).
Outputs
The output is pre-authenticated and encrypted, in accordance with the configured HDCP output mode using PCS (see the FOX3T201 PCS Help File).
If an output requires encryption, but the connected sink device cannot be authenticated, that output displays a green screen.
HDCP output modes
Follow Input (default) — Output authentication and encryption follows input status.
Authentication times out after ~10 seconds.
Always Encrypt Output — The output is always authenticated and encrypted.
Authentication times out after ~10 seconds.
Follow Input (with continuous trials) — Output authentication and encryption follows
input status with no authentication timeout.
Always Encrypt Output (with continuous trials) — The output is always
authenticated and encrypted with no authentication timeout.
Disable Authentication — The output is never authenticated or encrypted. When an
HDCP encrypted input signal is detected, the display always shows a green screen.

RS-232 Insertion
La
Touchpanel
Fiber
A user can connect a control system to send and receive RS-232 data over the fiber and the captive screw port of the transmitter and receiver.
Captive Screw Insertion
A user can connect an RS-232 signal from a control system to an endpoint and pass that signal over the fiber to the connected endpoint. An RS-232 signal must be inserted in the RS-232 port on the transmitter or receiver and bidirectional fiber must be used.
The RS-232 signal settings are:
Baud rate: 9600 (default) to 115200 Stop bits: 1 (default) to 2
Data bits: 5 to 8 (default) Parity: Odd, Even, or None (default)
The RS-232 insertion method must be set to Captive Screw Insertion via PCS (see the FOX3 SR 201 Help File) on both endpoints passing the control signal.
Example of a bidirectional fiber system (see figure11):
On the FOX3 transmitter and receiver, configure the RS-232 Insertion via PCS.
The control system then sends a control command:
Into the transmitter Control RS-232 port.
Out of the transmitter SFP A port to the receiver SFP A IN port.
To the receiver captive screw port.
Into the display to take some action.
The response from the display is sent back to the control system.

SIS Configuration and Control

This section describes the remote control operation of the FOX3T201 transmitter, including:
Host Control Ports
Simple Instruction Set Control
Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
The FOX3 transmitter can be configured using SIS commands, PCS, or embedded web pages. The FOX3 transmitter can be controlled using SIS commands or PCS. Configure and control the FOX3 transmitter remotely via a host computer or other device (such as a control system) by connecting to the rear panel RS‑232 port, LAN port, or the front panel USB port.

Host Control Ports

Rear Panel RS-232 Port

The rear panel serial port (see figure2 on page5) can be connected to a host device such as a computer running Extron DataViewer, available at www.extron.com. The port makes serial control of the FOX3 device possible. Use the protocol information listed below to make the connection.
The protocol for the serial ports is as follows:
9600 baud no parity 8 data bits
1 stop bit no flow control
Front Panel Configuration USB Port
The front panel mini B USB Configuration port (see figure9, B on page12) can be connected to a host computer for configuration using SIS commands via an SSH client and IP address 203.0.113.22 on port 22023.
Ethernet (LAN) Ports
The rear panel Ethernet connector (see figure2 on page5) can be connected to an Ethernet LAN or WAN. Communications between the transmitter and the controlling device is via an SSH client using port 22023. This connection makes SIS control of the unit possible using a computer connected to the same LAN or WAN (see TP Cable
Termination and Recommendations on page11 to wire the LAN connector).
FOX3 T 201 Transmitter • SIS Configuration and Control 17
Page 26
Default IP address
To access the FOX3 transmitter via the LAN port, the IP address, subnet mask, and the gateway address for the devices are needed. If the addresses have not been changed, the factory‑specified defaults are:
IP address 192.168.254.254
Gateway address 0.0.0.0
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Establishing a Connection
Establish a network connection to a FOX3 device as follows:
1. Download the SSH client software from the internet.
2. Open the SSH client software.
3. Enter the IP address of the FOX3 device in the Host Name or IP address field.
NOTE: If the local system administrators have not changed the value, the default IP
address is 192.168.254.254.
4. Enter 22023 in the Port field.
5. The FOX3 device is password protected, so the appropriate administrator or user name
and password must be entered.
If the login and password are correct, the device responds with a copyright
message including the copyright year, the name of the product, firmware version, part number, and the current date and time.
If the login and password are incorrect, the Login as prompt returns. Enter the
administrator or user name and password again.
NOTES:
The FOX3 device is shipped password‑protected. The factory configured
passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number.
In the event of a complete system reset, the password converts to the default,
which is extron. New passwords must be configured to secure the device.
On password‑protected connections, there are two levels of protection:
administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all editing functions.
Using verbose mode
SSH connections to a FOX3 device can be used to monitor for changes that occur on the device, such as SIS commands from other SSH sockets or a serial port. For an SSH session to receive change notices from the device, the SSH session must be in verbose mode 1 or 3 (see the SIS command Verbose mode on page23).
FOX3 T 201 Transmitter • SIS Configuration and Control 18
Page 27

Simple Instruction Set Control

Host-to-Unit Instructions
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the transmitter executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses
from the transmitter to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
Device-Initiated Power-Up Message
When the device completes its start‑up, it issues the following message to the host:
© Copyright 20yy, Extron FOX3 T 201 MM (SM), Vx.xx, 60nnnnnn
20yy is the copyright year
Vx.xx is the firmware version number
60nnnnnn is the part number.
NOTE: This message only displays if the FOX3 device is connected to the serial port.
Error Responses
When the transmitter receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. If the transmitter is unable to execute the command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the transmitter returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
E10 — Invalid command E21 — Invalid room number
E11 — Invalid preset number E22 — Busy
E13 — Invalid parameter E24 — Privilege violation
E14 — Invalid for this configuration E25 — Device not present
E17 — Invalid command for signal type E26 — Maximum number of connections
exceeded
E18 — System or command timed out E28 — Bad file name or file not found
Timeout
Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout. The command operation is aborted with no other indication.

Equipment Mounting

This section provides procedures for mounting the FOX3T201 transmitter.

Mounting the Transmitter

ATTENTION:
Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués uniquement par un technicien
qualifié.
The 1-inch high, half rack width transmitter can be placed on a table, mounted in a rack, or mounted under a desk or table. The transmitter can also be mounted on a projector bracket.

Tabletop Use

Affix the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient location.
Mounting kits
Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the Extron website (www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit. For rack mounting, see UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines below.
UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the unit into a rack.
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified by Extron.
Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
