Insertion - Extron electronics FOX3 SR 301 User Manual

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:
•
•
The RS-232 insertion method must be set to Captive Screw Insertion via PCS (see the
FOX3 SR 301 and FOX3 SR 311 Help File) on both endpoints passing the control signal.
Example of a bidirectional fiber system (see figure 16):

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
• Out of the transmitter SFP A port to the receiver SFP A IN port.
• To the receiver captive screw port.
• Into the display to take some action.
The response from the display is sent back to the control system.
