The Extron FOX Extender program, which communicates with
the transmitter and receiver pair via either unit's rear panel
Remote RS-232 port or front panel Conguration port, provides
an easy way to operate the pair.
The program is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP,
or later. Updates to this program can be downloaded from the
Extron Web site (www.extron.com).
Installing the software
The program is contained on a CD-ROM. To install the
software, insert the CD-ROM into the drive. The setup
program should start automatically. If it does not self-start,
run Launch.exe from the CD and follow the instructions that
appear on the screen. By default, the Windows installation
creates a C:\Program Files\Extron\FOX_Extenders directory,
and it places four icons into a group folder named “Extron
Electronics\FOX Extender WCP.” The four installed icons are:
• Check for FOX Extender updates
• FOX Extender WCP
• FOX Extender Help
• Uninstall FOX Extender WCP

Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter Tx to receiver
Rx, is required for video, audio, and serial command
transmission. But, if you connect only one fiber
optic cable, there will be reduced Windows-based
control program functionality on the Rx unit. For full
functionality, you need to install both fiber optic cables
and leave the FOXBOX receiver in normal configuration
(Mode DIP switch 1 down).
