This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate
Extron® FOXBOX Tx/Rx VGA, FOXBOX VGA/YUV, and FOXBOX DVI transmitters and
receivers.
NOTES: • The FOXBOX DVI receiver can accept inputs from any FOX 500 or FOXBOX
non-Plus transmitter, including VGA models.
• The FOXBOX VGA receiver can accept inputs from any FOX 500 or
FOXBOX non-Plus transmitter, including DVI models.

Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all power sources to the
unit and mount the transmitter and receiver as required.
Step 2 — Input and Output Connections
a. Connect an RGB, YUV, or DVI video source, as applicable to the model, to the input connector

on the transmitter and an RGB, YUV, or DVI display to the output connector on the receiver.
b. Connect an unbalanced stereo or mono audio input and an audio output device to the 3.5 mm
mini jack audio ports on both units.
c. If you want the FOXBOX units to pass serial data or control signals, such as serial control of a projector,

connect the master device to the transmitter and the slave device to the receiver using the first three poles
of the RS-232 Over Fiber/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connectors on both units.
NOTE: For RS-232 responses (from the receiver to the transmitter), you must install the cable in step 3b and leave
the receiver in the normal (rather than daisy chain) configuration (Mode DIP switch 1 down).
d. For remote monitoring of the status of the optical links, connect a locally constructed or obtained device to

OVER FIBER

the two Alarm poles of the RS-232 Over Fiber/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connectors on the unit to be
monitored. The two poles are shorted together when no light is detected.
NOTES: • The Alarm port on the transmitter reports the status of the Rx light link to the unit.
• The Alarm port on the receiver reports the status of the Tx light link to the unit.
Step 3 — Throughput Connections
NOTE: You can connect the transmitter and one or more receivers (see the two fiber cable connection drawings below)
in one of three ways:
• One way (transmitter to receiver) only, perform step 3a.
• Two way (transmitter to receiver and return), perform steps 3a and 3b.
• One way (transmitter to receiver) with daisy chain (receiver to receiver), perform steps 3a and 3c.
a. Connect a fiber cable between the Tx port on the transmitter and the Rx port on the receiver.

b. If you want the receiver to send return serial data (such as responses from a controlled device) to
the transmitter, connect a fiber cable between the Tx port on the receiver and the Rx port on the
transmitter.
c. If you want a receiver to daisy chain the optical signal to another receiver (up to 10 receivers in a
daisy chain):
z Connect the Tx port on the receiver to the Rx port on another receiver.
z Set the Mode DIP switch 1 up on each receiver that is daisy chaining the signal.

Step 4 — Remote Connector
Connect a host device to the front panel Config port on either unit via the 9-pin D to 2.5 mm mini jack TRS RS-232 cable
that is included with the Tx model or available separately (part number 70-335-01). See the FOXBOX Tx/Rx User Guide
for detailed information about using the Simple Instruction Set (SIS
™
) commands and the Windows
®
-based FOX Extender
program to set up and operate the transmitter and receiver and to take advantage of the various adjustments and test
patterns available on the FOXBOX units.
Step 5 — Power
Plug the included external 12 VDC power supply into this 2-pole captive screw
connector on each unit as shown at right. Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the
power cord to the extended tail of the connector.
Operation, Control, and Indications
After all receivers, the transmitter, and their connected devices are powered
up, the system is fully operational. If any problems are encountered, verify that
the cables are routed and connected properly and that all display devices have
identical resolutions and refresh rates. If your problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline closest
to you at the number shown below.
Mode Switch

Audio LED — This LED lights on both units when the transmitter detects a low level audio signal for a short period of time.
It goes dark if the audio signal drops below the minimum threshold for a short period of time.
WARNING: This unit outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful and dangerous to the eyes; use with
caution. For additional safety, plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber optic cable is
unplugged.
