Front Panel Configuration Port
NOTE: The Configuration port is in the same location on the transmitter and the
receiver.
Configuration port — Connect a controlling device, such as a PC,
to this mini USB B port for control of all functions of the connected unit
(see
Remote Control
control).
This mini USB B port serves a similar communications function as the
rear panel Remote RS-232 ports (see
on the previous page), but it is easier to access than the rear port after
the unit has been installed and cabled.
NOTE: A front panel Configuration port connection and a rear panel Remote RS-232
port connection can both be active at the same time. If commands are sent
simultaneously to both, the command that reaches the processor first is handled first.
Connection Considerations
DisplayPort connections
DisplayPort signals run at a very high frequency and are prone to errors caused by bad
connections or excessive cable length. To avoid the loss of an image or jitter, follow these
guidelines:
•
Do not exceed 6.5 feet (2 meters) of cable on the input or buffered loop-through of the
FOX II T DP 4K transmitter or the output of the FOX II R DP 4K receiver.
•
Use only the cable specifically designed and intended for high speed digital signals that
is supplied by Extron. Use of non-DisplayPort cables or modified cables can result in a
missing video output.
RS-232 and IR connections
Figure 4 shows how to wire the RS-232 and IR connectors.
Figure 4.
NOTES:
•
The length of exposed wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).
•
•
•
Do not tin the power supply leads before installing them in the connector. Tinned
wires are not as secure in the connector and could be pulled out.

RS-232 and IR Connector Wiring
Longer bare wires can short together.
Shorter wires are not as secure in the connectors and could be pulled out.
