NThis port parallels the rear panel Remote RS-232 ports. If a front panel configuration connection is made, the rear panel Remote RS-232 port becomes inactive and the front panel Configuration port is active.

This port is RS-232 only, with the following protocols:

•

9600 baud

•

no parity

• 8 data bits

•

1 stop bit

•

no flow control

 

NThe maximum distances from the DA or receiver to the controlling device can vary up to 200' (61 m). Factors such as cable gauge, baud rates, environment, and output levels (from the unit and the controlling device) all affect transmission distance. Distances of about 50' (15 m) are typically not a problem. In some cases, the unit may be capable of serial communications via RS‑232 up to 250' (76 m) away.

RGB LED — This LED lights on both units when the DA detects a sync signal on its video input:

• Horizontal sync (H) (for RGBHV video)

• Composite sync (S) (for RGBS video)

• Green (Sync on green) (G) (for RGsB or RsGsBs video)

Audio LED — This LED lights when the DA detects a low level audio signal for a short period of time. This LED goes dark if the audio signal drops below the minimum threshold for a short period of time.

Link 1 LED — This LED lights when the master receiver detects light on the fiber optic cable Optical 1 and the fiber optic cable Optical 2 is installed between the master receiver and DA output 1.

N Only one fiber optic cable, Optical 1, is required for video, audio, and serial command transmission. But, if you connect only one fiber optic cable, you do not receive RS-232 communications from the controlled device connected to the master receiver, and there is reduced RS-232 command and Windows control program functionality on the receiver. To receive responses

from the master receiver and for full functionality, you must install both fiber optic cables between the DA and the master receiver.

Link 2 LED — This LED lights when the DA detects light on the fiber optic cable Optical 2 connected to ouput 1.
