the shipping group.
, connect the upstream Transmitter box to the
Step 4
Remove the module dust covers and connect each duplex LC fiber cable one
by one to each of 4 LC receptacles of the Transmitter and Receiver boxes, as
shown in Fig. 2. Plug A to A and B to B. Carefully recheck polarities and
ensure the duplex connectors are fully engaged.
Step 5
Connect each RJ-45C plug of the DDC cable to each RJ-45C receptacle of
the Transmitter and Receiver boxes.

Step 3
In the same way as above, connect the Receiver box into the DVI receptacle
of the display by the other DVI copper cable.

Notice: Please DO NOT look directly into the LC receptacles of the
Transmitter box, while it is powered on, although this product is regulated
strictly enough to operate under the Laser Class I, classified by CDRH/FDA
for eye safety.

Step 7
Power on the media receiver or computer and display.
Tip 1: After initial installation as guided in the above, we recommend you to
power On and Off while all connections are set and the Tx/Rx boxes are
powered in.
Tip 2: Avoid “hot plugging” the Tx or Rx boxes as this is not recommended
practice with live digital voltages.

Troubleshooting
The display displays only black screen.
• Check that all AC and DC plugs and jacks used by external power
supplies (both Opticis and others) are firmly connected.
• Ensure that power bars are live.
• Ensure that the Tx and Rx boxes plug correctly to the media receiver
or computer and display, respectively.
• Check if the media receiver or computer and display are powered on
and properly booted.
• Re-boot up the system after reconnecting the optical system cable.
Screen is distorted or displays noises.
• Check if the graphic resolution is properly set. Go to the display
properties and tap the settings. Ensure that the resolution sets less
than SXGA (1,600x1,200) at 60Hz refresh ratio.
• Reset the system.
• Power down, disconnect and reconnect the optical system cable or
DC power adaptors, and power up.
Maintenance
No special maintenance is required for the optical system cables and power
supplies. Ensure that the cables and power modules are stored or used in a
benign environment free from liquid or dirt contamination.
There are no user serviceable parts. Refer all service and repair issues to
Opticis or its authorized distributor.

System Requirements for Setup
Hardware requirements
You have a Media Receiver or a graphic controller card with a
DVI (Digital Visual Interface) port in your Windows/Mac (Mac is
option), or SUN system. It should support the maximum graphic
resolution feature of the display to be connected.
In case of using a computer, no special memory size, CPU
speed and chipsets are required.
Proper initial trial of the entire platform with its application using
a short length copper cable is recommended prior to install with
the optical link.
Software requirements
No special needs, if the DVI graphic controller and display
peripheral are operational with the platform’s OS and
application.
AC/DC Power Adapter Technical Advisory
The power of M1-2Rx-TR is designed to supply to both modules of
Tx and Rx over the DDC cable by plugging the power jack to either
of their power plugs.
