Connect the provided external power supplies to the 2-pole captive screw power
connectors on the transmitter and receiver. The front panel Power LED and Link LED
and the rear panel Tx and Rx LEDs on both units light to indicate power is connected
and a proper link cable connection exists between the transmitter and receiver.
ATTENTION:
•
Do not connect any external power supplies until you have read the
Attention
notifications on page 6.
•

5.
Connect a USB type A-B cable from the host computer to the Input Host connector of
the transmitter. The front panel Host LEDs (see
figure 5
,
C
, on page 9) on both units
begin to blink.
6.
Connect up to four USB cables from peripheral devices (for example, a keyboard,
mouse, or web cam) to the receiver Output Hub ports (the order of connection does not
matter). As soon as a peripheral device is connected, the Host LEDs light steadily.
As each peripheral is connected, the Hub LED for its port lights when the computer has
detected the device.
The system is now ready to operate.
Connecting the Fiber Optic Cable
The first connection to make when setting up the FOX T/R USB Plus is to connect the
transmitter with the receiver is through their LC SFP connectors using an LC2 fiber optic
cable (not provided). You must use the type of cable for your extender model, singlemode or
multimode (typically, the singlemode cable has a yellow jacket and the multimode, an
orange or aqua jacket).
Each end of the two fiber optic cables is labeled. The two ends of one cable are labeled A1
and B2 while the ends of the other cable are B1 and A2. Connectors A1 and B1 connect to
one unit, connectors A2 and B2 to the other.
To connect the fiber optic cable to a unit:
With the clip facing upward, slide each connector into the
appropriate port of the LC SFP connector until it snaps into place.
NOTE:
Both A wires must be connected to the same side of
both LC SFP connectors (for example, the Tx port) and both
B wires must be connected to the other side (for example,
the Rx port).
When a proper connection is made between the two units, the rear
panel Tx and Rx LEDs light steadily.
TIP:
To ensure a valid connection, it is recommended that
you attach the wires to the rear panel LC SFP connectors as
follows (see the diagram at right):
•
Transmitter:
•
Connect wire A1 to the Tx port (left side).
•
Connect wire B1 to the Rx port (right side).
•
Receiver:
•
Connect wire A2 to the Tx port (left side).
•
Connect wire B2 to the Rx port (right side).
