FOXBOX Tx / Rx • Installation and Operation 13
NOTES:
• You can connect the transmitter to one or more receivers in one of three ways:
• One way (transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx) only — Connect fiber cable
3
(from transmitter connector
1
) only .
• Two way (transmitter to receiver and return)
— Connect fiber cable
3
(from transmitter connector
1
) and fiber cable
4
back to the transmitter
(connector
2
, see figure 5).
• One way (transmitter to receiver) with daisy chain
(receiver to receiver)
— Connect fiber cable
3
from
a fiber optic source and cable
4
to the next receiver in
the daisy chain (see figure 6). Set each receiver in the
daisy chain to daisy chain mode (Mode DIP switch 1
up.)
Up to 10 properly-configured receivers can be
connected in a daisy chain to a single transmitter.
• See the transmitter fiber connector NOTES on page 10,
which also apply to these connectors.

Rx (required) (see figure 4 on page 11, figure 5, and figure 6) — For all one-way
video, audio, and serial communications from the transmitter to the receiver,
connect a fiber optic cable to the Rx LC connector.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to the Tx connector on the
FOXBOX Tx transmitter (
item
F
on page 10) or to any other compatible Extron
FOXBOX device.
4
Tx (optional) (see figure 4 , figure 5, and figure 6)— Connect a fiber optic cable to
the Tx LC connector for either of the following functions:
Normal configuration — For all one-way return serial communications from the
receiver to the Rx connector on the transmitter (see figure 5, above).
Daisy chain configuration — For daisy-chained video, audio, and serial
communications to the Rx connector on another receiver (see figure 6, above).
NOTE:
The Tx connector emits light in either case and the Rx port receives light.
Connect the free end of this fiber optic cable to either:
•
The Rx connector on the FOXBOX Tx transmitter ( item
F
on page 10) or to
any other compatible Extron FOX device
•
The Rx connector on another receiver in the daisy chain
Tx Link and Rx Link LEDs
— When lit, the link is active (light is received).

DIP switch 1 — To connect the received optical input to another receiver in a
daisy chain configuration, set DIP switch 1 to up as shown. Up to 10 properly-
configured receivers can be connected in a daisy chain to a single transmitter.
DIP Switch 2 — DIP switch 2 must be set to the up position for the receiver to respond
properly to the Video Shutdown Delay SIS command.
