2 MT107-304 8 OUTPUTS, FIBER OPTIC OUTPUT CARD The MT107-304 is an 8 Fiber Optic Output expansion card for use with the MT107-104 64X64 Matrix Engine. The MT107-304 outputs are compatible with Altinex DA1934KM Receiver. Each MT107-304 connects to the Output Connector on the MT107-104 Matrix Engine. Up to 8 MT107-304's may be connected to the Engine. Each card is connected with the Engine via specially provided, high bandwidth cables. The output signals are driven by high speed, fiber optic transmitters. Each transmitter is designed to drive any of four popular fiber sizes. Altinex's software and hardware allow for the switching of any input to output combination and prevents illegal switching combinations that may damage components.

6 Step 1. Locate the Matrix Engine, MT107-104 or MT107-100, currently installed in the Multi-Tasker™. Ensure there are enough empty slots in the enclosure to allow for the one or more MT107-304's to be installed. Step 2. Route the ribbon cables through the notch in the add-on boards and connect to the Engine base assembly using the special high bandwidth cables provided. Make sure that the cable connector is secured in the socket of the input connector card. Step 3. Carefully, slide the MT107-304 into a slot in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure. Step 4. Secure each card by tightening the retainer screws at the top and bottom of each card. Step 5. Connect the output of the DA1935KM transmitter to one of the inputs on the MT107-204. Step 6. Connect the output of the MT107-304 to one of the inputs on the DA1934KM Receiver. Step 7. Using MTSetup or other RS-232 communication software, send commands to the Engine to connect the new output to the desired input. OPERATION 7 7.1 RS-232 CONTROL The MT107-304 has many advanced remote control capabilities when used in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure as part of an MT107-104 Matrix Switcher. These capabilities are accessible through standard RS-232 communication. The actual controlling can be accomplished through a computer control system or any other device capable of sending RS-232 commands. 7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS Please, see the MT107-104 User's Guide for a full listing of commands available for the MT107-304 as part of a Multi-Tasker™ Matrix Switcher. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 8 We have carefully tested and have found no problems in the supplied MT107-304. However, we would like to offer suggestions for the following: 8.1 NO OUTPUT Cause 1: The source has a problem. Solution: Check the source by connecting the keyboard and mouse directly to the computer and verifying they work correctly. If they are functioning, see Solution 2. Solution 2: Verify the MT107-204 is connected to the MT107-100/104 and that the cable is in good condition. If there is no signal, please, call Altinex at (714) 990-2300.

Solution: Make sure the input to output path is correctly selected. For example, Input 17 is connected to Output 1 in the matrix engine. Physically, the source signal should be connected to Input 17 and the receiving cable should be connected to Output 1. See RS-232 accessible commands in Section 7 of the MT107-100/104's User Guide for command details. If the devices still fail to function properly, see Cause 4. Cause 4: Cable connections are incorrect. Solution: Make sure that cables are properly connected. Also, make sure that the continuity and wiring are good. If the are still not functioning, see Cause 5. Cause 5: The transmitting or receiving device has a problem. Solution: Make sure the receiving DA1934KM and Transmitting DA1935KM have power and are properly connected. If there is still no response, please call Altinex at (714) 990-2300.
