Connection Details
Connecting HDMI Connectors
Use an Extron LockIt lacing bracket to secure an HDMI cable to each device.
1. Plug the HDMI cables into the panel connection
(see
1
of the image to the right).
2. Loosen the side HDMI connection mounting screw from
the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing bracket to
be placed over it (see
2
). The screw does not have to
be removed.
3. Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and
against the HDMI connector, then tighten the screw to
secure the bracket (see
3
).
ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the HDMI
connector mounting screw. The shield to which it is
fastened is very thin and can easily be stripped.
ATTENTION : Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage
du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage auquel elle
est attachée est très fin et peut facilement être
dénudé.
4. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing
bracket (see
4
).
5. While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or a similar
tool to tighten the tie wrap, then remove any excess length.

Figure 3. Wiring the RS-232 Over Fiber and Alarm Connector
ATTENTION:
• The length of exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal length is
3/16 inch (5 mm).
• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de les
dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches).
• Any longer and the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between
them.
• S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer
un court circuit.
• Any shorter and the wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the
captive screws.
• S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les
vis captives.
For RS-232 over fiber connection, cross the Tx and Rx lines once between the source and
the target.
The alarm pins do not produce any discrete on or off or voltage signals.
NOTES:
• The alarm port does not produce any discrete on or off voltage signals.
• If power is lost or if link 2 optical light is disconnected, lost, or broken, alarm pins 1
and 2 internally short.

A
Auto Switch LED indicator — Lights when the transmitter is in auto switch mode.
B
Config port — Connect a host device to the mini USB Config port for remote control.
C
Input selection buttons — Select inputs 1 through 3 or modes of operation. The
corresponding LEDs light to indicate an input is currently active or which mode is
currently active.
D
Status LED indicators — The Signal LEDs light to indicate the signal presence of
each input. The HDCP LEDs light when the signal on the corresponding input is HDCP
compliant. Input 1 (the VGA connector) does not have an HDCP LED.
Front Panel Operation
The three buttons with corresponding LEDs on the front panel (labeled Mode, Normal, and
Auto) are used to manually select inputs 1 through 3 or enable and disable device modes
(see the table below). The LEDs indicate status and the currently selected input.
The front panel operations can also be performed remotely with SIS commands (see SIS
Configuration and Control on page 13) or the FOX Extenders Control Program (see FOX
Extenders Control Program on page 21).
Initial Power Up
Upon initial power up, all the front panel LEDs blink simultaneously. They blink once for
multimode or twice for singlemode. Afterwards, the LEDs return to their normal signal
presence indication.
If a different fiber optic SFP module or no SFP module is connected, the LEDs first blink
once or twice to identify the device, but then blink continuously.
FOX T USW 203 Universal Switcher • Operation 12
Selecting an Input
To select an input from the front panel, perform the following actions:
1. Press the input selection button that corresponds with the desired rear panel input
connector.
2. The corresponding LED lights to indicate the active input.
Setting the Front Panel Lockout Mode (Executive Mode)
Push and hold (for about 5 seconds) inputs 1, 2, and 3 simultaneously until the front
panel LEDs blink three times to enable or disable front panel configuration. In executive
mode, contact closure and RS-232 control are still available. By default, executive mode is
disabled.
Setting Switch Modes
The FOX T USW 203 operates in two different switch modes: Normal and Auto Switch. In
Normal switch mode, select inputs from the front panel manually. In Auto Switch mode, an
input is selected automatically based on the active inputs (see the table below for button
combinations).
To enable or disable executive, auto switch, or normal switch mode from the front panel,
press and hold a combination of input selection buttons simultaneously until the appropriate
LEDs blink (see the table below for the different button combinations).
NOTE: Setting audio switch mode to prioritize the lowest numbered active input can be
done only with SIS commands (see Auto switch mode SIS commands on page 16).
Normal switch mode is the default mode.
To enable normal switch mode and disable auto switch mode, push and hold (for about
3 seconds) inputs 1 and 2 until the front panel Auto Switch LED turns off.

SIS Configuration
and Control
This section describes remote control of the FOX T USW 203 through SIS commands
and basic installation instructions for the FOX Extenders Control Program (refer to the FOX
Extenders Control Program Help File for operation details).
To enable serial control of the FOX T USW 203, use a computer running the HyperTerminal
or DataViewer utility, or a control system to make serial control of the transmitter. Connect
the computer to the FOX T USW 203 through the front panel configuration port or the rear
panel RS-232 connector.
The protocol for the RS-232 port is as follows: 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
no flow control.
• Simple Instruction Set Control
• Command and Response Tables for SIS Commands
Simple Instruction Set Control
SIS Programming Guide
Host-to-device and device-to-host communication
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are
required to begin or end a command sequence. When the FOX T USW 203 determines that
a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All
responses from the transmitter or receiver to the host end with a carriage return and a line
feed (CR/LF = ]), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or
more characters.
Device-initiated messages
When a local event occurs, the device responds by sending a message to the host. The
device-initiated message may depend on whether the device is multimode or singlemode.
They are listed below.

The FOX T USW 203 returns this message when there is any change to the input frequency
on the currently selected input.
1LnkX%•2LnkX%•Vid X%•AudX%•X1)•TX]
The FOX T USW 203 returns this status message whenever a change in the fiber link, video,
or audio connection occurs. X% indicates whether the link is present or not present
(0 = not present, 1 = present) and X1) represents whether the device is multimode or
singlemode (MM = multimode, SM = singlemode).
FOX T USW 203 Universal Switcher • SIS Configuration and Control 14
Error Responses
When the FOX T USW 203 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 transmitter or receiver
returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
E01 = Invalid input number E14 = Not valid for this configuration
E06 = Invalid switch attempt in this mode E17 = Invalid command for signal type
E10 = Invalid command E22 = Busy
E13 = Invalid parameter
Using the Command and Response Table for SIS Commands
The Command and Response Tables begin on page 16. Lowercase letters are
acceptable in the command field except where indicated. Figure 7 shows the hexadecimal
equivalent of ASCII characters used in the command and response tables.
