The input's audio level can be individually set via the front
panel or RS-232 control. See chapter 3, "Operation", and
chapter 4, "Remote Control".
d
RS-232 Over Fiber port —
If you want the
FOX 500 to pass serial command signals to
the receiver, for serial control of a projector
for example, connect the host device to the
transmitter via three poles of this 5-pole captive
screw connector. See "Rear panel serial ports
connections" on page 2-14 to wire this connector.
N
If you connect only one fiber optic cable (item
g
,
on the
next page), you will not receive reports from the controlled
device. To receive responses from the controlled device, you
must install two fiber optic cables.
N
The FOX 500 can pass RS-232 commands and responses
at rates up to 38400 baud.
e
Remote RS-232 port —
For serial control of the transmitter,
connect a host device, such as a computer, touch panel control,
or RS-232 capable PDA, to the transmitter via three poles of this
5-pole captive screw connector.
See "Rear panel serial ports
connections" on page 2-14 to wire this connector.
See chapter 4, "Remote Control", for definitions of the SIS
commands (serial commands to control the transmitter via
this connector).
f
Alarm outputs port
— For remote monitoring
of the status of fiber optic link 2, connect a
locally-constructed or furnished device to the
transmitter via two poles of this 5-pole captive
screw connector. When the transmitter does not detect a
light link on fiber cable Optical 2 (optional), pin 1 and pin 2
of this port are shorted together.

Fiber optic connectors and LEDs
—
W
These units output continuous invisible light,
which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes;
use with caution. For additional safety, plug the
attached dust caps into the optical transceivers
when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.
N
Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your
transmitter/receiver pair. Typically, singlemode fiber has a
yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange jacket.
N
Only one fiber optic cable, Optical 1, is required for video,
audio, and serial command transmission. But, if you
connect only one fiber optic cable, you will not receive
RS-232 reports from the controlled device, and there will
be reduced front panel, Windows-based control program,
and RS-232 command functionality on the RX unit. To
receive responses from the controlled device and for full
functionality, you will need to install both fiber optic
cables.
Optical 1
— For all one-way video, audio, and
serial communications from the transmitter to
the receiver, connect a fiber optic cable to the
Optical 1 LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic
cable to the Optical 1 connector on the
FOX 500 Rx receiver
(item
n
in "Receiver rear
panel connections")
.
Optical 2
— For all one-way serial
communications from the receiver to the
transmitter, connect a fiber optic cable to the
Optical 2 LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic
cable to the Optical 2 connector on the
FOX 500 Rx receiver
(item
n
in "Receiver rear
panel connections")
.
Link 1 and Link 2 LEDs
— When lit, the link
is active (light is received).
h
AC power connector —
Plug a standard IEC power cord into
this connector to connect the transmitter to a 100 VAC to 240
VAC, 50 or 60 Hz power source.
