This guide provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron FOX II T/R DP ber optic extenders.

WARNING: Vision hazard — This unit outputs continuous laser light, which may be harmful to the eyes; use with caution. For

additional safety, plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the ber optic cable is unplugged.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT, see the FOX II T/R DP User Guide, available at www.extron.com.

Installation

Step 1 — Mounting

Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and mount the transmitter and receiver as required.

ATTENTION: This unit is very warm in operation.

Allow proper spacing for ventilation

Step 2 — Input and Output Connections

a. Connect a DisplayPort video source to the transmitter DisplayPort input connector.

b. If desired, connect a DisplayPort video display to the transmitter Loop-Thru connector for a local display.

c. Connect a DisplayPort video display to the receiver DisplayPort output connector.

d. Connect an audio input device to either the Audio 3.5 mm mini jack or the Audio 5-pole captive screw connector on

the transmitter. See the drawing to the right of step 2g to make connections on the captive screw connector.

e. For optional returned audio, connect an audio output device to the Audio Return Out 5-pole captive screw connector

on the transmitter. See the drawing to the right of step 2g to make connections on the captive screw connector.

f. Connect an audio output device to either or both the 3.5 mm mini jack or the Audio 5-pole captive screw connector on

the receiver. See the drawing below right to make connections on the captive screw connector.

g. For optional returned audio, connect an audio input device

to the Audio Return In 5-pole captive screw connector on the receiver. See the drawing above to make connections on the captive screw connector.

ATTENTION: For unbalanced audio output, connect the

sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (–) contacts.

Do not tin the wires!

NOTE: For returned audio, above, and RS-232 and IR responses (from the receiver to the transmitter), below, you must install the

Receiver-Tx-to-transmitter-Rx cable in step 3b and leave the receiver in the return link (default) conguration (see Return Link

Mode on the next page).

h. If you want the FOX II DP units to pass serial or IR data or control signals, such as for serial control of a projector,

connect the primary screw connectors on both units.

i. For remote monitoring of the status of the Rx optical link on either the transmitter or receiver, connect a locally

constructed or obtained device to the two left Alarm poles of the Alarm and Remote RS-232 5-pole captive screw connector on that unit. The unit shorts both poles together when no light is detected.

NOTE: The transmitter port reports the status of the link from the receiver.

The receiver port reports the status of the link from the transmitter.

j. For remote control of a unit and loading rmware, connect a host device, such as a computer or control system, to

either of the following ports on the unit to be controlled:

Conﬁguration port — A front panel mini USB connector. Remote RS-232 port — The rear panel Remote RS-232 3-pole captive screw connector. The protocol for the Remote

port is as follows:

• 9600 baud • no parity • 8 data bits

1 stop bit • no ow control

•

Step 3 — Throughput Connections

NOTE: See the two ber cable connection drawings below. You can connect the transmitter and one or more receivers in one of two

ways:

• One way (transmitter to receiver) only, perform step a.

• Two way (transmitter to receiver and return), perform steps a and b.

a. Connect the ber between the Tx port on the transmitter and the Rx port on the receiver.

b. If you want the receiver to return serial data (such as responses from a controlled device) to the transmitter, connect a

cable between the Tx port on the receiver and Rx port on the transmitter.

Operation

After the receiver, the transmitter, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly and that all display devices have identical resolutions and refresh rates. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline at the number that is closest to you.

Return Link Mode

The receiver can operate in a Return link mode, in which the receiver outputs data on its Tx connector for return to the transmitter. Use SIS commands to toggle between return mode on and off. Connect a PC to the receiver and issue the following command: 66*0*n#, where n = 0 = disable and 1 = enable return link (default mode).

NOTE: The disable return link function is primarily used and recommended when the transmitting device is a FOX 500 DA6

and the receiver is connected to any of outputs 2 through 6 on the DA.

Indications

Tx Link and Rx Link LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light is output [Tx] or received [Rx]).

NOTE: The Link LEDs indicate transmission of light only, not whether there is data encoded in the optical link.

Power LED — Indicates that power is applied to the unit.

Video Signal LED — Lights on both units when the transmitter detects a signal on its

video input.

SIGNAL

HDCP

HDCP LED — Lights on both units when the input signal is HDCP encrypted.

Audio Input LED — Lights on both units when the transmitter detects a low level audio

signal for a short period of time.

Audio Return Out (transmitter) and In (receiver) LEDs — These LEDs light when the unit detects a low level analog audio signal for a short period of time.

EDID

EDID Select rotary switch — Set this switch to one of the positions at right to select the source of the DDC or a specic resolution.

Position 0 — An EDID that has been captured from a connected display.

Position 1 — The EDID is selected via the remote or USB port on the transmitter only, using an SIS command or the Extron Product

Conguration Software.

Position 2 — Use the EDID from the display connected to the receiver.

Position 3 — Use the EDID from the display connected to the transmitter loop-through.

Positions 4 through F — Specify a resolution. The table at right identies the resolutions associated with the switch positions. All resolutions are at 60 Hz.
