RS-232 Insertion
A user can connect a control system to send and receive RS-232 data over the fiber and
the captive screw port of the transmitter and receiver.
Captive Screw Insertion
A user can connect an RS-232 signal from a control system to an endpoint and pass that
signal over the fiber to the connected endpoint. An RS-232 signal must be inserted in the
RS-232 port on the transmitter or receiver and bidirectional fiber must be used.
The RS-232 signal settings are:
•
Baud rate: 9600 (default) to 115200
•
Stop bits: 1 (default) to 2
•
Data bits: 5 to 8 (default)
•
Parity: Odd, Even, or None (default)
The RS-232 insertion method must be set to Captive Screw Insertion via PCS (see the
FOX3 SR 201 Help File
) on both endpoints passing the control signal.
Example of a bidirectional fiber system (see figure 11):
•
On the FOX3 transmitter and receiver, configure the RS-232 Insertion via PCS.
•
The control system then sends a control command:
•
Into the transmitter Control RS-232 port.
•
Out of the transmitter SFP A port to the receiver SFP A IN port.
•
To the receiver captive screw port.
•
Into the display to take some action.
•
The response from the display is sent back to the control system.
