d.
Connect an audio input device to the transmitter Input Audio 3.5 mm mini jack.
e.
Connect an audio device to the receiver Audio captive
screw connector. See the drawing at right.
ATTENTION:
•
For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact.
DO NOT
connect the sleeves to the negative (-) contacts.
•
Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol.
NE PAS
connecter les manchons aux
contacts négatifs (–).
f.
If you want the PowerCage FOX HDMI units to pass serial data or control signals, such as for serial control of a

projector, connect the primary device to the transmitter and the secondary device to the receiver via the left three poles
(Tx, Rx, and
_
) of the RS-232 Over Fiber/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connectors on
both
units.
g.
For serial control of a unit, connect a host device, such as a computer, to one of the following ports on the unit to be
controlled:
Transmitter or receiver Configuration port
— A 2.5 mm mini jack. A TRS RS-232 cable is included with the transmitter.
CONFIG
Receiver Remote RS-232 port
— Use the Remote RS-232 3-pole captive screw connector.
The protocol for both of these ports is as follows:

constructed or obtained device to the two right Alarm poles of the RS-232 Over Fiber/Alarm 5-pole captive screw
connector on that unit. The unit shorts both poles together when no light is detected.
Step 3 — Throughput Connections
NOTES:
•
See the two fiber cable connection drawings below. You can connect the transmitter and one or more receivers in one of three
ways:
•
One way (transmitter to receiver) only, perform step a.
•
Two way (transmitter to receiver and return), perform steps a and b.
•
One way (transmitter to receiver) with daisy chain (receiver to receiver), perform steps a and c.
•
HDCP compliance requires both fiber cables.
a.
Connect the fiber between the Tx port on the transmitter and the Rx port on the receiver.
b.
If you want the receiver to return serial data (such as responses from a controlled device) to the transmitter, connect a
cable between the Tx port on the receiver and Rx port on the transmitter.
c.
If you want a receiver to daisy-chain the optical signal to another receiver (up to 10 receivers in a daisy chain):
•
Connect the receiver Tx fiber cable to the Rx port on another receiver.
•
Set each receiver to daisy chain mode. See
Step 4 — PowerCage Configuration Port
If desired, for serial control of the transmitter and receiver, connect
a host device to the PowerCage enclosure Configuration connector
via the 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable (included with the PowerCage enclosure or available separately
using part number 70-335-01). Repeatedly press the Comm Select button until the Comm LED lights for the slot where the
transmitter or receiver is installed. The protocol for this port is as follows:
•
9600 baud
•
no parity
•
8 data bits
•
1 stop bit
•
no flow control
Operation
After all receivers, the 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 that all display devices have identical resolutions and refresh
rates. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline at the number that is closest to you.
