Matrix Operations
The FOX3 Matrix can be operated in one of two modes: Port mode and System Map mode.
NOTE:
The FOX3 Matrix is initially in Port mode when it is powered for the first time.
•
In Port mode, each physical SFP on the Matrix represents 1 Input and 1 Output, numbered according to its physical location
on the Matrix.
In System Map mode, multiple SFP modules can be combined via PCS to create a configuration map. This mode is used to
•
simplify system switching and USB group switching for cross display applications (see the FOX3 Matrix System Map Setup
Guide available at
