  • Page 4: System Overview

    Lightwave Communications DVI Fiberlynx 1.0 System Overview The DVI Fiberlynx from Lightwave Communications is a fiber optic extension system for computers requiring high-resolution TMDS-interface video for flat screen monitors and other digital high-resolution DVI-D devices. A user may be located up to 1500 feet from the CPU and have complete interaction with the CPU through keyboard, mouse, serial, video, and audio devices.
  • Page 5: Installation

    Lightwave Communications DVI Fiberlynx The DVI Fiberlynx system provides keyboard emulation and carries the keyboard and mouse signals through the Transmitter to the Receiver end. The Personality Modules must be used as a matched set (e.g., PS/2 on both ends, or USB on both ends, etc.).
  • Page 6: Site Preparation

    Lightwave Communications DVI Fiberlynx Site Preparation Shutdown the CPU and disconnect the user peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc.). Move the CPU and the user devices to their respective operating locations. Standard cable kits provide 6 feet of copper cable length between the CPU and the Transmitter unit;...

  • Page 8: Dvi Cable Kits

    Lightwave Communications DVI Fiberlynx DVI Cable Kits A six-foot-long DVI cable kit is included with the DVI Fiberlynx to connect the DVI Transmitter to your CPU. Use this kit at the CPU end. The cable kits include: one male-to-male TMDS (DVI-D connector) video cable, keyboard and mouse cables (varies per kit), one male-to-female DB9 serial cable, and two 3.5 mm audio cables.
  • Page 9 Lightwave Communications DVI Fiberlynx Connect the digital video output of the CPU to the DVI IN connector of the transmitter using the provided DVI-D cable. A monitor may be attached to the DVI OUT connector to view the video output of the CPU locally. Note: The DVI Fiberlynx interface uses DVI-I connectors for compatibility with all DVI-type cables (DVI-D and DVI-I).

    Lightwave Communications DVI Fiberlynx Connecting the User Peripherals Place the DVI Fiberlynx receiver on or near the user station. Connect the monitor to the DVI Fiberlynx Receiver. The left-most DVI connector (DVI OUT) is the primary video connector. The DVI AUX connector is for an (optional) auxiliary monitor.
  • Page 11 Lightwave Communications DVI Fiberlynx DVI Fiberlynx Receiver, Audio, Serial and PS/2 Connections Connect the Receiver to AC power and turn on the switch. The status LEDs found on the front of the unit should light. The Monitor and the CPU may be powered up at this time.
  • Page 12: Operation

    Lightwave Communications DVI Fiberlynx 3.0 Operation Once the CPU is operating, the DVI Fiberlynx is transparent to the user. It will appear as though the user peripherals are directly attached to the CPU. There are no user adjustments relating to the DVI Fiberlynx. Both the transmitter and receiver may be powered off while the CPU is on.
