Matrix Operations
The FOX3 Matrix 80x can be operated in one of two modes: Port mode and System Map mode.
NOTE: The FOX3 matrix is initially in Port mode when it is powered for the first time.
•
In Port mode
, each physical SFP on the Matrix represents an individual In 1 and Out 1.
•
In System Map mode
, multiple SFP modules can be combined via PCS to create a configuration map. This mode is used to
simplify system switching and USB group switching.
Remote Control
This section describes using the remote control features of the FOX3 Matrix switchers to control the devices.
Use Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands for operation and configuration of the matrix. Run these commands from a PC
connected to:
• A LAN or WAN using the rear panel RJ-45 LAN connector (see figure 2 ,
C
on page 2) via PuTTY and port
22023
.
• The Remote RS-232 port (see
figure 2
,
D
) via DataViewer.
• The front panel USB config port (see figure 6 , A on page 4) via PuTTY and IP address 203.0.113.22 and port 22023 .
NOTE: The table below is a partial list of SIS commands. For a complete listing of commands and instructions to install
PuTTY, see the FOX3 Matrix 80x User Guide .

Additional Description
NOTE: Commands can be entered back-to-back in a string, with no spaces. For example:

Output switching
NOTES:
• The quick multiple tie and tie input to all output commands activate all I/O switches simultaneously.
• The
!
tie
command,
&
tie
command, and
%
tie
command can be used interchangeably.
• The
!
tie all
command,
&
tie all
command, and
%
tie all
command can be used interchangeably.
• When you create a tie where
X!
=
00
, you tie no input to the specified output (
X@
) (untie
X@
).
• When you create a tie where
X@
=
00
, you untie all outputs from input
X!
.
• If a System Map has been initiated, the Input number (
X!
) or Output number (
X#
) can represent a single physical SFP port or a group of
SFP ports.
