control signals from the transmitter to the receiver. Link 2 is

 

optional, but two-way communication from the Tx port of the

 

receiver is required to fully configure the system using

 

RS-232 commands or FOX Extender Windows Control Program.

Link 2 may be connected to another receiver in a daisy chain. In that case, there is no return link to the transmitter (see page 2-15).

Step 13

Connect the RS-232 control device to this 5 pole captive screw connector or the front panel Config port. These ports are an alternative to the transmitter ports (see steps 6 and 7 and page 3-2).

NIf the RS-232 control device is connected to the receiver, fiber optic Link 2 is required to configure the transmitter.

Step 14

Connect the 12 VDC power supply to the receiver's 2 pole captive screw connector (see page 2-10).

Step 15

Power up all devices and configure the system using the Simple Instruction Set (SIS) commands (see page 3-5) or FOX Extender Windows Control Program (see page 3-15).
