o Fiber optic connectors <strong>and</strong> LEDs —<br />

WARNING: These units output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to<br />

the eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug the attached dust<br />

caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is unplugged.<br />

NOTES: • You can connect the transmitter to one or more receivers in one of three<br />

ways:<br />

• One way (transmitter-<strong>Tx</strong>-to-receiver-<strong>Rx</strong>) only — Connect fiber<br />

cable 15a (from transmitter connector ä) only.<br />

From Transmitter<br />

or Daisy-Chained<br />

Receiver<br />

• Two way (transmitter to receiver <strong>and</strong> return) — Connect fiber<br />

cable 15a (from transmitter connector ä) <strong>and</strong> fiber cable 15b back to the<br />

transmitter (connector è). See figure 5.<br />

• One way (transmitter to receiver) with daisy<br />

chain (receiver to receiver) — Connect fiber<br />

cable 15a from a fiber optic source <strong>and</strong> cable 15b <strong>Tx</strong> <strong>Rx</strong><br />

to<br />

the next receiver in the daisy chain. See figure 6.<br />

15b 15a<br />

Set each receiver in the daisy chain to daisy<br />

chain mode (Mode DIP switch 1 up.)<br />

Up to 10 properly-configured receivers can<br />

be connected in a daisy chain to a single<br />

Receiver<br />

transmitter.<br />

• See the transmitter fiber connector NOTES on<br />

page 9, which also apply to these connectors.<br />

Configuration<br />

15a<br />

<strong>Rx</strong> (required) — For all one-way video, audio, <strong>and</strong> serial communications from the<br />

transmitter to the receiver, connect a fiber optic cable to the <strong>Rx</strong> LC connector.<br />

Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the <strong>Tx</strong> connector on the <strong>FOXBOX</strong> <strong>Tx</strong><br />

transmitter (item f on page 9) or to any other compatible <strong>Extron</strong> <strong>FOXBOX</strong> device.<br />

15b<br />

<strong>Tx</strong> (optional) — Connect a fiber optic cable to the <strong>Tx</strong> LC connector for either of<br />

the following functions:<br />

Normal configuration — For all one-way return serial communications from the<br />

receiver to the <strong>Rx</strong> connector on the transmitter. See figure 5.<br />

Daisy chain configuration — For daisy-chained video, audio, <strong>and</strong> serial<br />

communications to the <strong>Rx</strong> connector on another receiver. See figure 6.<br />

NOTE: The <strong>Tx</strong> connector emits light in either case <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Rx</strong> port receives light.<br />

Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to either:<br />

• The <strong>Rx</strong> connector on the <strong>FOXBOX</strong> <strong>Tx</strong> transmitter (item f on page 9) or to any<br />

other compatible <strong>Extron</strong> FOX device<br />

• The <strong>Rx</strong> connector on another receiver in the daisy chain<br />

<strong>Tx</strong> Link <strong>and</strong> <strong>Rx</strong> Link LEDs — When lit, the link is active (light is received).<br />
