DIP Switches and LEDs
Figure 3 shows the extender’s ports and features, including the DIP switches and LEDs.
Figure 3. Ports and features
• The DIP switches indicate which device (camera or framegrabber, as labeled on the Camera Link end of the unit);
whether Power over Camera Link (PoCL) is on or off; and whether the unit is set for program mode or normal mode.
• The LEDs indicate the status of each port.
Table 1 and Table 2 explain the details.

# Function On Off Details
1 Which device to connect camera framegrabber System reads this switch at boot time only.
2 Port 1 (P1): PoCL P1: PoCL on P1: PoCL off Valid for camera-end units only. This switch always should be “off”
for the framegrabber-end unit (that is, whenever switch 1 is “off”).
3 Port 0 (P0): PoCL P0: PoCL on P0: PoCL off Valid for camera-end units only. This switch always should be “off”
for the framegrabber-end unit (that is, whenever switch 1 is “off”).
4 Program vs. normal mode program normal System reads this switch at boot time only.

Table 2. LED behaviors
Unit LED location Behavior Meaning
Camera SDR Green, no flash Good; the camera (pixel clock) is detected
Green, quick flash (10Hz) Error; the camera (pixel clock) is not detected
Red, no flash Good; PoCL is enabled
Red, quick flash (10Hz) Error; PoCL is enabled, but a non-PoCL device is connected to
the unit (SafePower circuit is open)
SFP+ Green, no flash Good; the other unit is detected at the framegrabber end
Red, slow flash (1Hz) Error; the other unit is not detected at the framegrabber end
Red, quick flash (10Hz) Error; the other unit is detected, but it is a camera-end unit (it
should be a framegrabber-end unit)
Framegrabber SDR Green, no flash Good; data is transferring between the unit and the framegrabber
SFP+ Green, no flash Good; the other unit is detected at the camera end
Red, slow flash (1Hz) Error; the other unit is not detected at the camera end
Red, quick flash (10Hz) Error; the other unit is detected, but it is a framegrabber-end unit
(it should be a camera-end unit)
