Ethernet to fiber insertion
Use a LAN connection from a control system to the PowerCage 401 enclosure LAN port to
send RS-232 signals to the connected endpoint for control of a source or display. The user
must configure the endpoint for Ethernet to Fiber RS-232 Insertion via PCS.
Example of an Ethernet to fiber system
•
The control system is connected to the PowerCage enclosure LAN port (see figure 7).
•
The control system then sends a control command through the receiver in slot #2 to the
Blu-ray connected to slot #1 of the transmitter over fiber to take some action.
•
The response from the Blu-ray is sent back to the control system as the fiber
connection is bidirectional.
