Quick Start Guide — FOXBOX 4G Tx/Rx
QS-1
Step 1
Turn all of the equipment off or disconnect it from the power source.
If desired, mount the FOXBOX 4G units in a rack or furniture, or
place them on desktops.
Step 2
FOXBOX 4G Tx VGA: Connect a VGA to UXGA
source to the transmitter's RGB Input 15-pin HD
connector.
FOXBOX 4G Tx DVI: Connect a digital visual
interface (DVI-D) source to the transmitter's
DVI-D Input connector.
Step 3
Connect an unbalanced, stereo or mono audio input to the
transmitter's Audio Input 3.5 mm mini jack.
Step 4
If you want the FOXBOX 4G to pass serial data and/or
control signals, such as for serial control of a projector,
connect the host device to the transmitter and the
controlled device to the receiver via three poles of the
RS-232 Over Fiber captive screw connector on both units.
N
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, or if your
transmitter is configured to daisy chain the optical signal,
system functionality is reduced.
You will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device,
and some Windows-based control program functions and
RS-232 commands will not work. To receive responses from
the controlled device and for full functionality, you need to
install both fiber optic cables and leave the FOXBOX receiver
in normal configuration (the receiver's Mode DIP switch 1
down). See Step 7.
Step 5
For remote monitoring of the status of the optical links,
connect a locally constructed or obtained device to the two
Alarm poles of the units' RS-232/Alarm 5-pole captive
screw connectors. The two poles are shorted together
when no light is detected.
N
The transmitter's Alarm port reports the status of
the Rx light link.
The receiver's Alarm port reports the status of the
Tx light link.
