PowerCage FOX HDMI • Setup Guide This guide provides quick-start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron PowerCage FOX HDMI fiber optic extenders.
CAUTION: These units output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful 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.
16 available single board slots or 8 double board slots
Installation
Power Supply
Step 1 — Mounting Install the Tx, Rx, or both units into PowerCage enclosures as required.
Screws
NOTES: • PowerCage boards are hot-swappable. 0Hz 50/6 V X. -240 MA 100 5A
• Ensure the boards are flush with the rear of the enclosure and
the screws are tightened securely before applying power.

a. Connect an HDMI video source to the transmitter HDMI Input connector. b. Connect an HDMI video display to the receiver HDMI Output connector.
HDMI
NOTE: Use a LockIt™ Lacing Bracket to securely fasten an HDMI cable to each device as follows. 1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection. 2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the LockIt bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be removed.

3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and against the HDMI connector, then tighten the screw to secure the bracket. ATTENTION:
Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield it fastens to is very thin and can easily be stripped.
4
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing bracket as shown. 5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar tools to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.

e. If you want the PowerCage FOX HDMI units to pass serial data or control signals, such as for serial control of a projector, connect the master device to the transmitter and the slave device to the receiver via the left three poles (Tx, Rx, and _) of the RS-232 Over Fiber 5-pole captive screw connectors on both units.

Tx Rx
NOTE: For RS-232 responses (from the receiver to the transmitter), you must install the Receiver-Tx-to-transmitter-Rx cable in step 3b and leave the receiver in normal configuration (see “Return Link and Daisy Chain Modes“ on the next page).
PowerCage FOX HDMI • Setup Guide (Continued) f. For serial control of the transmitter or receiver, connect a host device, such as a computer, to the Remote RS-232 port on either unit via the left poles (Tx, Rx, and _) of the Remote RS-232/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connector on either unit. The protocol for these ports is as follows: • •
9600 baud 1 stop bit
• •
no parity no flow control
•

g. For remote monitoring of the status of the Rx optical link on either the transmitter or receiver, connect a locally constructed or obtained device to the two right Alarm poles of the Remote RS-232/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connector on that unit. The unit shorts both poles together when no light is detected.

Step 3 — Throughput Connections NOTE: See the two fiber cable connection drawings below. You can connect the transmitter and one or more receivers in one of three ways: • One way (transmitter to receiver) only, perform step 3a. • Two way (transmitter to receiver and return), perform steps 3a and 3b. • One way (transmitter to receiver) with daisy chain (receiver to receiver), perform steps 3a and 3c. Tx
a. Connect the fiber between the Tx port on the transmitter and the Rx port on the receiver. b. If you want the receiver to send return serial data (such as responses from a controlled device) to the transmitter, connect a cable between the Tx port on the receiver and Rx port on the transmitter.

c. If you want a receiver to daisy-chain the optical signal to another receiver (up to 10 receivers in a daisy chain): •
Connect the receiver Tx fiber cable to Rx on another receiver.
•
Set each receiver to daisy chain mode (see “Return Link and Daisy Chain Modes,” below). Rx

If desired, for serial control of the transmitter and receiver, connect a host device to the PowerCage enclosure Configuration connector via the 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable (included with the PowerCage enclosure or available separately using part number 70-335-01). Repeatedly press the Comm Select button until the Comm LED lights for the slot where the transmitter or receiver is installed. The protocol for this port is as follows: • •
9600 baud 1 stop bit
• •
no parity no flow control
•
8 data bits
Operation After all receivers, the transmitter, and their connected devices are powered up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, verify that the cables are routed and connected properly and that all display devices have identical resolutions and refresh rates. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline at the number shown below that is closest to you.
Return Link and Daisy Chain Modes The receiver operates in one of two modes (or both modes can be disabled): Return link mode — The receiver outputs data on its Tx connector for return to the transmitter. Daisy chain mode — The receiver daisy-chains its Rx connector input through to its Tx connector output. Use SIS commands issued to the connected unit to toggle between normal and daisy chain modes. Connect a PC to the Remote RS-232 port of either unit or to the Configuration port on the PowerCage enclosure and issue the following command: 66*0*n#, where n = 0 = disable, 1 = enable return link (default mode), and 2 = daisy chain enable NOTES: • Up to 10 receivers, each in daisy chain mode, can be connected in a daisy chain to a single transmitter.
• Daisy chain mode works with non-HDCP sources only.
HDMI Audio Switch This switch mutes (Off position) and unmutes (On position) the embedded audio output on the HDMI output connector. The audio on the captive screw output always remains active regardless of the setting of this switch. Extron Headquarters +1.800.633.9876 (Inside USA/Canada Only)
