Introduction, cont’d N The FOX 500 transmitter-to-receiver communications, including the serial link, occupy one matrix switcher input and output. This matrix switcher also supports the FOX 500 return (receiver-to-transmitter) serial communications, but returning this signal stream to the transmitter occupies a separate matrix switcher input and output. Configurability and transmission modes The Fiber Matrix is assembled from individual input/output (I/O) boards.

Installation, cont’d Making connections a b Fiber optic connectors and LEDs — W This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution. For additional safety, plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged. N Ensure that you use the proper fiber cable for your I/O board. Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode cable has an orange jacket.

Remote Control Selected SIS Commands The switchers have Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands that you can use for operation and configuration. You can run these commands from a PC connected to either of the switcher’s serial ports or the Ethernet port. See c, d, and g, on pages 2-5 and 2-6, for connection information.

Fiber Matrix 6400 Switcher • Remote Control • Commands can be entered back-to-back in a string, with no spaces. For example: 1*1!02*02&003*003%4*24$. • The matrix switchers support 1-, 2-, and 3-digit numeric entries (1*1!, 02*02&, or 003*003%).

Remote Control, cont’d Installing and Starting the Control Program 4. Another way to operate the switcher is via the Windows -based Matrix Switchers Control Program. This program is contained on the Extron Software Products DVD (included with the switcher). Run this program on a PC connected to either of the switcher’s serial ports or the Ethernet port. See c, d, and g, on pages 2-5 and 2-6, for connection information.
Remote Control, cont’d 3. If you selected IP [LAN] in step 2, the IP Connection window appears. Accessing the HTML Pages Another way to operate the switcher is via its factory-installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased or overwritten. The switcher’s HTML pages are accessible through its LAN port, connected via a LAN or WAN, using a Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. See g, on page 2-6, for connection information.

Remote Control, cont’d 4. At the PC, access the MS-DOS® command prompt, then enter the arp –s command. Type in the desired new IP address for the unit (obtained in step 1) and the unit’s MAC address (from the unit's rear panel). For example: arp –s 10.13.197.7 00-05-A6-03-69-B0 and then press {Enter}. After receiving the arp -s command, the controller changes to the new address and starts responding to the ping requests, as described in step 5.

Maintenance and Modifications Removing and Installing an I/O Board or Blank Panel W The Fiber Matrix 6400 fiber optic I/O boards output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with caution. • Do not look into the rear panel fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber optic cables themselves. • Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is unplugged.
Maintenance and Modifications, cont’d 8. Gently slide the board or blank panel into the enclosure. For an I/O board, slide the board toward the front panel until it meets resistance. 9. Gently seat the board or panel in the backplane. 10. Tighten the left and right knurled knobs/captive screws to lock the board or panel in place. N If necessary, use a screwdriver to tighten the knurled knobs/captive screws.
