Connector and Cable Details
HDMI Connectors
HDMI signals run at a very high frequency and are especially prone to errors caused by bad
video connections, too many adapters, or excessive cable length. To avoid the loss of an
image or jitter, follow these guidelines:
•
Limit or avoid the use of adapters.
•
Use only cables specifically intended for HDMI or DVI signals.
To securely fasten an HDMI cable to a device:
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection (see figure 4, 1).

Figure 4.
Installing the LockIt Lacing Bracket
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow the
LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it (2). 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 (3).
ATTENTION:
• Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield to which it
fastens is very thin and can easily be stripped.
• Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel
elle est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être dénudé.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing
bracket (4).
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 (5).

ATTENTION:
• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is important. The ideal length
is 3/16 inches (5 mm). Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short
circuit between them. Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly
fastened by the captive screws.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est importante lorsque l’on entreprend de les
dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5 mm (3/16 inches). S’ils sont trop longs, les
câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un courtcircuit. S’ils sont trop
courts, ils peuvent être tirés facilement, même s’ils sont correctement serrés par les
borniers à vis.
• Do not tin the wire leads before installing into the connector. Tinned wires are not as
secure in the connector and could be pulled out. They may also break after being
bent several times.
• Ne pas étamer les conducteurs avant de les insérer dans le connecteur. Les câbles
étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés dans le connecteur et pourraient être tirés. Ils
peuvent aussi se casser après avoir été pliés plusieurs fois.
• Always use a power supply provided by or specified by Extron. Use of an
unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may
cause damage to the supply and the end product.

NOTES:
• The IR Tx and Rx line pair and the RS-232 Tx and Rx line pair must each cross
once between this connector and the source or destination.
• The length and preparation of exposed wires is important (see the audio connector
NOTES above for details).
TP Cable Termination and Recommendations
It is vital that your Ethernet cable be the correct cable type and that it be properly terminated
with the correct pinout. Ethernet links use Category (CAT) 3, 5e, or CAT 6, unshielded
twisted pair (UTP) or shielded twisted pair (STP) cables, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.
Ethernet cables are limited to a length of 328 feet (100 meters).
NOTES:
• Do not use standard telephone cables. Telephone cables do not support Ethernet
or Fast Ethernet.
• Do not stretch or bend cables. Transmission errors can occur.
The cable used depends on your network speed. The unit supports:
10 Mbps (10Base-T — Ethernet), 100 Mbps (100Base-T — Fast Ethernet), and
1000 Mbps (1000Base-T — IEEE 802.3ab) half-duplex and full-duplex Ethernet
connections.
•
10Base-T Ethernet requires CAT 3 UTP or STP cable at minimum.
•
100Base-T Fast Ethernet requires CAT 5e UTP or STP cable at minimum.
•
1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet requires CAT 5, CAT 5e, CAT 6, or CAT 7 UTP or STP
cable.
The Ethernet cable must be terminated as a patch (straight-through) cable and must be
properly terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568-B wiring standard (see figure 7).

RS-232 Insertion
A user can connect a control system to send and receive RS-232 data over the fiber and
the captive screw port of the transmitter and receiver.
Captive Screw Insertion
A user can connect an RS-232 signal from a control system to an endpoint and pass that
signal over the fiber to the connected endpoint. An RS-232 signal must be inserted in the
RS-232 port on the transmitter or receiver and bidirectional fiber must be used.
The RS-232 signal settings are:
• Baud rate: 9600 (default) to 115200
• Stop bits: 1 (default) to 2
• Data bits: 5 to 8 (default)
• Parity: Odd, Even, or None (default)
The RS-232 insertion method must be set to Captive Screw Insertion via PCS (see the
FOX3 SR 201 Help File) on both endpoints passing the control signal.
Example of a bidirectional fiber system (see figure 15):
•
On the FOX3 transmitter and receiver, configure the RS-232 Insertion via PCS.
•
The control system then sends a control command:
•
Into the transmitter Control RS-232 port.
•

This section describes the remote control operation of the FOX3 SR 201 scaling receiver,
including:
•
Host Control Ports
•
Simple Instruction Set Control
•
Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
The FOX3 receiver can be configured using SIS commands, PCS, or embedded web
pages. The FOX3 receiver can be controlled using SIS commands or PCS. Configure and
control the FOX3 receiver remotely via a host computer or other device (such as a control
system) by connecting to the rear panel RS‑232 port, LAN port, or the front panel USB port.
NOTE: SIS commands and Product Configuration Software functions are receiver
specific or may have different responses depending on the unit connected. Connect
to the appropriate device for the command to work properly or to get the expected
response.
Host Control Ports
Rear Panel RS-232 Port
The FOX3 devices have a rear panel serial port (see figure 2 on page 5) that can be
connected to a host device such as a computer running Extron DataViewer, available at
www.extron.com. The port makes serial control of the FOX3 device possible. Use the
protocol information listed below to make the connection.
The protocol for the serial ports is as follows:
• 9600 baud
• no parity
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no flow control
Front Panel Configuration USB Port
The front panel mini B USB Configuration port (see figure 8, B on page 12) can be

which is extron. New passwords must be configured to secure the device.
• On password‑protected connections, there are two levels of protection:
administrator and user. Administrators have full access to all capabilities and
editing functions. Users can view all settings with the exception of passwords.
Using verbose mode
SSH connections to a FOX3 device can be used to monitor for changes that occur on the
device, such as SIS commands from other SSH sockets or a serial port. For a SSH session
to receive change notices from the device, the SSH session must be in verbose mode 1 or
3 (see the SIS command Verbose mode on page 28).
FOX3 SR 201 Scaling Receiver • SIS Configuration and Control
23
Simple Instruction Set Control
Host-to-Unit Instructions
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command character sequence. When a command is valid, the
receiver executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses
from the receiver to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ]), which
signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.
Device-Initiated Power-Up Message
When the device completes its start‑up, it issues the following message to the host:
© Copyright 20yy, Extron FOX3 SR 201 MM (SM), Vx.xx, 60‑nnnn‑nn
•
20yy is the copyright year
•
Vx.xx is the firmware version number
•
60‑nnnn‑nn is the part number.
NOTE: This message only displays if the FOX3 device is connected to the serial port.
Error Responses
When the scaling receiver receives a valid SIS command, it executes the command
and sends a response to the host device. If the scaling receiver is unable to execute the
command because the command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the scaling
receiver returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
• E10 — Invalid command
• E21 — Invalid room number
• E11 — Invalid preset number
• E22 — Busy
• E13 — Invalid parameter
• E24 — Privilege violation
• E14 — Invalid for this configuration
• E25 — Device not present
• E17 — Invalid command for signal type
• E26 — Maximum number of connections
exceeded
• E18 — System or command timed out
• E28 — Bad file name or file not found
Timeout
Pauses of 10 seconds or longer between command ASCII characters result in a timeout.
The command operation is aborted with no other indication.

Equipment Mounting
This section provides procedures for mounting the FOX3 SR 201 scaling receiver.
Mounting the Scaling Receiver
ATTENTION:
• Installation and service must be performed by authorized personnel only.
• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués par le personnel autorisé
uniquement.
The 1 inch high, half rack width scaling receiver can be placed on a table, mounted in a
rack, or mounted under a desk or table. The scaling receiver can also be mounted on a
projector bracket.
Tabletop Use
Affix the included rubber feet to the bottom of the unit and place it in any convenient
location.
Mounting kits
Mount the unit using any optional compatible mounting kit listed on the Extron website
(www.extron.com), in accordance with the directions included with the kit. For rack
mounting, see “UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines,” below.
UL Rack-Mounting Guidelines
The following Underwriters Laboratories (UL) requirements pertain to the installation of the
unit into a rack.
•
Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consider installing the equipment in an environment
compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (TMA = +122 °F, +50 °C) specified
by Extron.
•
Reduced air flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
•
Mechanical loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a
hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
•
Circuit overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the
equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment
nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
•
Reliable earthing (grounding) — Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment
should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other
than direct connections to the branch circuit (such as use of power strips).
