FOX3 SR 201 • Setup Guide (Continued)

b. 

For remote control of a unit and loading firmware (LAN or USB only), connect a host device, such as a computer or control 
system, to one of the following ports (see the 

FOX3 SR 201 User Guide

, available at 

www.extron.com

, for details):

• 

Remote RS-232 port

 — Connect the 3-pole captive screw connector to this port (

F

). The protocol for the Remote port 

is as follows:

• 

9600 baud

• 

no parity

• 

8 data bits

• 

1 stop bit

• 

no flow control

• 

LAN Ethernet port

 — Connect an RJ-45 connector to this port (

G

).

• 

USB Configuration port

 — Connect a USB mini-B connector to this port (see 

figure 5

B

 on page 2).

Step 4 — Throughput Connections

NOTE:

 See 

figure 4 for fiber cable connections. Connect the transmitter to a receiver in one of 

three ways:

• 

One way (transmitter to receiver) only, perform step 4a.

• 

Two way (transmitter to receiver and return), perform steps 4a and 4b.

• 

Output B is available to transmit 4K @ 60 Hz uncompressed signal when the FOX3 
Uncompressed Video LinkLicense is purchased.

a. 

Connect the fiber between the A Out port on the transmitter and the A In port on the receiver (

1

).

NOTE:

  Ensure that the transmitter and connected receiver are in the same transmission 

mode, singlemode (SM) or multimode (MM) and use the correct SM or MM fiber cable to 
connect the devices.

b. 

To return serial data from the receiver (such as responses from a controlled device) or IR data 
to the transmitter, connect a cable between the A Out port on the receiver and A In port on the 
transmitter (

2

).

c. 

To transmit an uncompressed 4K @ 60 Hz signal, using the Uncompressed Video LinkLicense, 
repeat step 4a on the SFP B port on the scaling receiver

Transmit Optical OUT LED

 — Lights solid green when powered and lights off when there is no power on the endpoint.

• 

Receive Optical IN LED

 — Lights solid green when light is present and lights off when there is no power or light present.

Step 5 — Power Connection

Connect the included external 12 VDC power supply into the 2-pole connector (see 

figure 1

A

 on page 1). The power LED 

lights (

) when the unit is receiving power.

Operation

After the receiver, transmitter, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are 
encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly and the display device has a compatible resolution and 
refresh rate. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline (see the 

contact number

 on page 6).
