Introduction

This guide describes the Extron PowerCage 401 enclosure and how to install, configure,

and operate the enclosure and its optional transmitter and receiver boards. Throughout this

guide “PowerCage” and “the enclosure” refer to the PowerCage401 enclosure.

This section of the guide covers the following topics:

• Guide Overview

• Product Description

• Features

• Application Example

Guide Overview

This guide describes the PowerCage 401 enclosure and provides instructions for installing

all components of the system.

NOTE: Observe all applicable building codes and local ordinances when installing the

enclosure.

Product Description

The PowerCage 401 is a 1U high, rack-mountable, 4-slot enclosure with vents, fans, and

two integrated power supplies that supports a wide range of Extron fiber optic transmitter

and receiver boards. It provides an efficient way to power and mount multiple transmitters

and receivers. It features both RS-232, Ethernet, and USB control and a front panel LCD

screen.

A PowerCage 401 system can include any combination of PowerCage 401 fiber optic

(FOX) boards mounted within the PowerCage enclosure. Each optional board operates

independently of the others. This is an integrated system of individual transmitters and

receivers, not a matrixed system.

NOTE: The PowerCage 401 and PowerCage 1600 system components are not

interchangeable.

• PowerCage 401 and PowerCage 1600 boards and power supplies are not

compatible between the two different enclosures.

• PowerCage 401 boards can only fit inside of a PowerCage 401 enclosure.

• PowerCage 1600 boards can only fit inside of a PowerCage 1600 enclosure.

• Under no circumstances should components be swapped between the

PowerCage 401 and PowerCage 1600 enclosures. They are not compatible with

each other.

PowerCage 401 Enclosure • Introduction 1

Features

PowerCage 401 Enclosure and System

• Versatile input-output options — The PowerCage 401 accommodates up to four

single-slot FOX fiber optic boards.

• 1U, rack-mountable enclosure — The enclosure streamlines installation and

eliminates individual power supplies for each transmitter and receiver.

• Modular, field-upgradeable, and hot-swappable design — The transmitter and

receiver boards, and primary and redundant power supplies, are hot-swappable,

allowing components to be added or replaced at any time without powering down the

system. This is useful for mission-critical applications that require continuous operation.

• Dual power supplies — For continuous, mission-critical applications where power

reliability is crucial, the main power supply is backed up by a second power supply.

PowerCage 401 Enclosure • Installation 4

Installing the Transmitter and Receiver Boards into the Enclosure

Any combination of up to four transmitter or receiver boards can be installed in the

PowerCage enclosure. The quantity and type of boards vary depending on the configuration

for each installation site.

Before installing the boards in the enclosure, refer to the model-specific guide for each

PowerCage transmitter and receiver board you are installing. The guides describe the

features of each board and how to set up and cable it.

NOTE: The power supplies and boards are hot-swappable; they can be installed or

removed without turning off or disconnecting the power to the PowerCage enclosure.

ATTENTION:

• Use ESD precautions when installing a board to avoid damaging it. Keep the board

in the anti-static bag until it is needed.

• Prenez les précautions ESD lorsque vous installez une carte afin d’éviter de

l’endommager. Gardez la carte dans le sachet dépoussiérant jusqu’à ce que vous

en ayez besoin.

• Use proper grounding techniques during installation.

• Utilisez des techniques de mise à la terre correctes pendant l’installation.

1. Where applicable, remove as many blank plates or previously installed boards from the

rear of the PowerCage enclosure as necessary to accommodate the number of new

boards to be installed.

2. Carefully slide the board into the slot, aligning the bottom edge of the board with the left

and right board mounting slides on the bottom of the enclosure slot. Push the board

completely into the slot and finger-tighten the two top screws while pushing in the

screws to secure the board in place.

PowerCage 401 Enclosure • Operation 7

RS-232 Insertion

A user can connect a control system to the PowerCage 401 to send and receive RS-232

data over the fiber or the captive screw port of the installed transmitter and receiver cards.

The frame has two UARTs per slot and when a dual transmitter or receiver module is

installed, the RS-232 signal from each UART is routed to one of the fiber or captive screw

ports on the card.

The RS-232 insertion can operate in three modes:

• Captive screw insertion

• Ethernet to fiber insertion

• Ethernet to Captive Screw Insertion

All three modes can be configured via PCS in each transmitter or receiver. Following are

three demonstrations of each mode of operation.

Captive Screw Insertion (Default)

A user can connect an RS-232 signal from a control system to an endpoint and pass that

signal over the fiber to the connected endpoint. An RS-232 signal must be inserted in the

RS-232 port on the transmitter or receiver card and bidirectional fiber must be used. The

RS-232 signal settings are:

Baud rate: 9600 to 115000 (Default = 9600)

Data bits: 5 to 8 (Default = 8)

Stop bits: 1 to 2 (Default = 1)

Parity: Odd, Even, or None (Default = None)

The RS-232 insertion method on both endpoints passing the control signal must be set

to Captive Screw Insertion via PCS (see the PowerCage 401 Series Help File for more

information).

Bidirectional fiber system

When the endpoints are setup as a bidirectional fiber system, the control insertion can

PowerCage 401 Enclosure • Operation 8

function bidirectionally.

Example of a bidirectional fiber system

• The control system sends a bidirectional control signal to the transmitter captive screw

port (see figure5).

• That signal is transmitted to the receiver over the fiber and sent to the projector from the

captive screw port on the receiver.

Ethernet to fiber insertion

Use a LAN connection from a control system to the PowerCage 401 enclosure LAN port to

send RS-232 signals to the connected endpoint for control of a source or display. The user

must configure the endpoint for Ethernet to Fiber RS-232 Insertion via PCS.

Example of an Ethernet to fiber system

• The control system is connected to the PowerCage enclosure LAN port (see figure7).

• The control system then sends a control command through the receiver in slot #2 to the

Blu-ray connected to slot #1 of the transmitter over fiber to take some action.

• The response from the Blu-ray is sent back to the control system as the fiber

connection is bidirectional.

PowerCage 401 Enclosure • Operation 11

Resetting the PowerCage 401 Enclosure with the Reset Button

NOTE: The front panel Reset button only resets the enclosure and not the boards

installed in the slots.

There are three reset modes (numbered 1, 4, and 5 for the sake of comparison with Extron

IPL products) that you can access by pressing the Reset button on the front panel. The

Reset button is recessed, so use a pointed stylus, ballpoint pen, or Extron Tweeker to

press it (see the PowerCage 401 Reset Mode Summary table on the next page).

CAUTION: Review the reset modes carefully. Using the wrong reset mode may result

in unintended loss of flash memory programming, port reassignment, or processor

reboot.

ATTENTION : Étudier de près les différents modes de réinitialisation. Appliquer

le mauvais mode de réinitialisation peut causer une perte inattendue de la

programmation de la mémoire flash, une reconfiguration des ports ou une

réinitialisation du contrôleur.

NOTE: The reset modes listed in the table close all open IP and Telnet connections

and close all sockets. Also, each mode is a separate function, not a continuation from

mode 1 to mode 5.

RESET

Release, then immediately

press and release again. Reset

LED flashes in confirmation.

Figure 9. Resetting the PowerCage 401

NOTES:

• After a mode 1 reset is performed, update the firmware for the PowerCage 401 to

the latest version. Do not operate the firmware version that results from the mode

1 reset. If the factory default firmware is to be used, that version must be uploaded

again.

• If you do not want to update firmware, or you performed a mode 1 reset by

mistake, cycle power to the device to return to the firmware version that was

running before the mode 1 reset. Use the 0Q SIS command to confirm that the

factory default firmware is no longer running (look for the asterisk [*] following the

version number).
