• Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is
unplugged.
NOTES:

The digital video signal output by the receiver is not HDCP-compliant.
You will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device.
To receive responses from the controlled device and for HDCP compliance, you
must install both fiber optic cables.
