RS-232 Insertion A user can connect a control system to the PowerCage 401 to send and receive RS-232 data over the fiber or the captive screw port of the installed transmitter and receiver cards. The frame has two UARTs per slot and when a dual transmitter or receiver module is installed, the RS-232 signal from each UART is routed to one of the fiber or captive screw ports on the card.
Bidirectional Fiber System Diagram Ethernet Insertion A user can have a LAN connection from a control system to the PowerCage 401 enclosure LAN port and send RS-232 signals to the connected endpoint for control of a source or display. The user must configure the endpoint for Ethernet to Fiber RS-232 Insertion via PCS.

Open an associated UART port to send serial data to its captive screw connector. The control system connects via LAN port to the PowerCage 401 enclosure LAN port. The device being controlled connects to the selected RS-232 captive screw port of that same unit.
Figure 9. Resetting the PowerCage 401 NOTES: After a mode 1 reset is performed, update the firmware for the PowerCage 401 to • the latest version. Do not operate the firmware version that results from the mode 1 reset. If the factory default firmware is to be used, that version must be uploaded again.

Power-up and Default Cycle When you first plug the Powercage 401 into a power source, the LCD screen displays an initial screen, which contains the product name, model, and firmware version. This is followed by the default cycle of screens showing the current configuration of the four slots.
Your adjustments remain in effect until you change them or reset the unit to factory defaults (see Resetting the PowerCage 401 Enclosure with the Reset Button on page 14). NOTE: The menus time out and the default cycle displays after 30 seconds of inactivity.
Rotate the horizontal Adjust ([) knob to select an input or output, and the vertical Adjust knob ({) to adjust the setting. NOTE: From any menu or submenu, the Powercage 401 saves all adjustment settings and times out to the default screens after 30 seconds of inactivity.

When the PowerCage 401 determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the PowerCage 401 to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), indicating the end of the response character string (one or more characters).
Error Responses When the PowerCage 401 enclosure receives an SIS command and determines that it is valid, it performs the command and sends the corresponding response to the host device. If the command is determined invalid or contains invalid parameters, the Powercage 401 enclosure returns an error response to the host.
ASCII to Hexadecimal Conversion Verbose Mode The connection to a PowerCage 401 can be used to monitor for changes that occur on the switcher, such as front panel operations and SIS commands from a TCP/IP connection or the RS-232 serial port.
