n  Audio output ports — These connectors output the transmitted, 
LR
AUDIO
unamplified, line level analog audio (see Audio connections on 
page 13 to wire these connectors). These connectors output 
professional level (+4 dBu) audio.
NOTE:  If embedded digital audio is present on the DP connector, these analog 
audio connectors do not output audio unless forced using an SIS command (see 
page 22).
Mini jack connector — Connect an audio device, such as an audio amplifier or 
powered speakers to this 3.5 mm mini jack connector.
Captive screw output connector — Connect an audio device, such as an audio 
amplifier or powered speakers to this 5-pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector.
o  Audio Return In port — Connect a balanced or unbalanced audio input

to this 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for return to the transmitter 
(see Audio connections on page 13 to wire these connectors).
p  Bidirectional RS-232 and IR port — Connect a serial RS-232 signal, a

OVER FIBER
modulated or unmodulated IR signal, or both to this 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive 
screw connector for bidirectional RS-232 and IR communication (see 
RS-232 and IR connections on page 12 to wire the connector).
NOTES:
•  If you connect only one fiber optic cable (see item 
l
, on the previous page), 
you will not receive RS-232 or IR reports from the controlled device. To receive 
responses from the controlled device, you must install two fiber optic cables.
•  The FOX II DP can pass RS-232 commands and responses at rates up to 
115200 baud.

link 2, connect a locally-constructed or furnished monitoring device to the 
receiver via the two leftmost poles (1 and 2) of this 5-pole captive screw 
connector. When the receiver does not detect a light link on fiber cable Rx, 
pin 1 and pin 2 of this port are shorted together. (see Alarm connection on page 13 to 
wire this connector).

host device, such as a computer or touch panel control, via this 3-pole 
captive screw connector (see RS-232 and IR connections on page 12 to
