Remote Control
This section describes the remote control operation of the FOXBOX VGA,
FOXBOX VGA/YUV, FOXBOX DVI Plus, and FOXBOX DVI, including:
•
Simple Instruction Set Control
• FOX Extenders Control Program
The transmitter and receiver each have a Configuration port, a 2.5 mm mini stereo jack (see
item
G
on page 10 and item
Q
on page 14) that can be connected to a host device such
as a computer running the HyperTerminal utility, or a control system. These ports make
serial control of the transmitter and receiver possible.
The protocol for the ports is as follows:
•
9600 baud • no parity • 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit • no flow control
NOTE:
Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx, is required for video,
audio, and serial command transmission. But, if you connect only one fiber optic
cable, you will
not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device, and there will
be reduced RS-232 command and control program functionality on the Rx unit.
To receive responses from the controlled device and for full functionality, install both
fiber optic cables and leave the FOXBOX receiver in normal configuration (Mode DIP
switch 1 down on the receiver).
