FOX3 Matrix Series • Setup Guide
General Setup
The FOX3 Matrix Switchers are configurable matrix switchers that distribute optical and audio signals. The FOX3 Matrix is
primarily designed to support switching of FOX3 endpoints, FOX3 transmitters to FOX3 receivers. The matrix switcher routes any
input signal to any combination of outputs. The FOX3 Matrix switcher can also route multiple input and output configurations
simultaneously (see figure 1 for a FOX3 Matrix 80x configuration).
WARNING:
The FOX3 Matrix switcher fiber optic I/O boards output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to
the eyes; use with caution. Do not look into the fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber optic cables themselves. Plug
the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is unplugged.
AVERTISSEMENT :
être dangereuse pour les yeux ; à utiliser avec précaution. Ne pas fixer directement les connecteurs optiques ou les câbles
fibre optique. Branchez les protections contre la poussière dans l'ensemble émetteur/récepteur lorsque le câble fibre
optique est débranché.
NOTE:
FOX3 Matrix is not compatible with FOX and FOX II signals unless a matrix partition is created and configured to
support 4G signals in PCS (see the FOX3 Matrix Series PCS Help File for details on partitioning). In the event of a factory
reset, the data rate resets to the factory default of 10G.

Page 15: Replacing A Power Supply Module
Replacing a Power Supply Module The two power supply modules (primary power supply and redundant power supply) are identical. Each power supply module has a 2-color LED, visible on the front panel, that indicates the status of the power supply outputs. If the LED is lit green, the power supply is operating normally. - Page 16 For information on safety guidelines, regulatory compliances, EMI/EMF compatibility, accessibility, and related topics, see the Extron Safety and Regulatory Compliance Guide on the Extron website. 68-2987-50 Rev.
