Wiring for Fiber Communication
WARNING: Risk of serious physical injury: This device outputs
continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes; use with
caution.
• Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into
the fiber optic cables themselves.
• Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when
the fiber cable is unplugged.
NOTES:
• Ensure the proper fiber optic cable is used for the transmitter and
receiver. Typically, singlemode fiber optic cable has a yellow jacket
and multimode fiber optic cable has an orange or aqua jacket.
• Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter-Tx-to-reciever-Rx, is
required for video, audio, and serial command transmission.
However, for only one fiber optic cable, the HDMI signal output by
the receiver is not HDCP-compliant.
• To receive responses from the controlled device and for HDCP
compliance, install both fiber optic cables and leave link 2
enabled.

SECTION A–A
ATTENTION:
• This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit marked “Class 2”
or “LPS,” rated 12 VDC, 1.0 A minimum. Always use a power supply supplied by
or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory
compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the end product.
• Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling
spaces or in wall cavities. The installation must always be in accordance with the
applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 75 and
the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be
permanently fixed to a building structure or similar structure.
• Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the
power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord identify the power cord

Operation
After all devices are connected and powered, the system is fully operational. The
FOX T UWP 302 can be configured through SIS commands (see Simple Instruction Set
Control on page 13) or the FOX Extenders control program (see FOX Extenders Control
Program on page 21).
Initial Power Up
Upon initial power up, all the front panel LEDs blink simultaneously. They blink once to
indicate the device is a multimode device or twice to indicate the device is a singlemode
device. Afterwards, the LEDs return to their normal signal presence indication.
If a different SFP module or no SFP module is connected, the LEDs first blink once or twice
to identify the device and then blink continuously.
System Reset
Use the Reset button beneath the faceplate to return the device to default settings or to
restore factory-shipped firmware (see to the Reset Mode Summary table below for more
details). If necessary, remove the faceplate.
Reset Mode Summary

SIS Configuration and Control
This section describes remote control of the FOX T UWP 302 through SIS commands
and basic installation instructions for the FOX Extenders Control Program (see to the FOX
Extenders Control Program Help File for configuration and control details).
To enable serial control of the transmitter, use a computer running the HyperTerminal or
Extron DataViewer utility, or a control system to enable serial control of the transmitter.
Connect the computer to the FOX T UWP 302 through the front panel Config port or the
rear panel Remote RS-232 connector (see Installation and Operation on page 4).
The protocol for the RS-232 port is as follows: 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
no flow control.
Simple Instruction Set Control
SIS Programming Guide
Host-to-device and device-to-host communication
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the FOX T UWP 302 determines that
a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All
responses from the transmitter or receiver 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 messages
When a local event occurs, the device responds by sending a message to the host. The
device-initiated message may depend on whether the device is a multimode or singlemode
unit. They are listed below.
© Copyright 2013, Extron Electronics FOX T UWP 302 MM, Vx.xx, 60-1232-xx
© Copyright 2013, Extron Electronics FOX T UWP 302 SM, Vx.xx, 60-1232-xx
Vx.xx is the firmware version number.

The FOX T UWP 302 returns this message when there is any change to the input frequency
on the currently selected input.
1LnkX%• 2Lnk X%•Vid X%• Aud X%•X1)•TX]
The FOX T UWP 302 returns this status message whenever a change in the fiber link, video,
or audio connection occurs. X% indicates whether the link is present or not present
(0 = not present, 1 = present) and X1) represents whether the device is multimode or
singlemode (MM = multimode, SM = singlemode).
13FOX T UWP 302 Wallplate Transmitter • SIS Configuration and Control
Error responses
Space
When the FOX T UWP 302 receives an SIS command and determines it is valid, it performs
the command and sends the corresponding response to the host device. If the command is
determined invalid or contains invalid parameters, the transmitter returns an error response
to the host. The error response codes are:
E01 = Invalid input number E13 = Invalid parameter
E06 = Invalid switch attempt in this mode E14 = Not valid for this configuration
E10 = Invalid command E17 = Invalid command for signal type
E12 = Invalid port number E22 = Busy
Using the command and response table for SIS commands
The Command and Response Tables begin on page 16. Lowercase letters are
acceptable in the command field except where indicated. Figure 10 shows the hexadecimal
equivalent of ASCII characters used in the command and response tables.

HDCP panel
The HDCP Authorized setting allows a user to turn off HDCP communication on discrete
inputs. This setting is useful for devices such as Mac computers, iPhones, iPads, and some
Windows 7 sources that will always encrypt their output if the downstream sink is capable of
HDCP. By not allowing HDCP signals on an input, most content from these sources can be
passed as a non-encrypted signal to analog and digital video outputs. In a video system that
has requirements to not transmit HDCP encrypted data (such as non-HDMI FOX Extenders),
HDCP Authorized should be turned off at the input to keep the non-HDMI FOX Extender’s
output unencrypted.
In the HDCP panel, select the On radio button to enable the HDCP Authorized setting or
select Off to disable the HDCP Authorized setting.
NOTE: Default setting: HDCP Authorized is On.
