PowerCage FOX 4G Tx/Rx DVI and VGA Setup Guide (Continued)
Step 3 — Throughput Connections
NOTE: See the two fiber cable connection drawings below. You can connect the transmitter and one or more receivers
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 the fiber 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 cable between the receiver’s Tx and transmitter’s Rx ports.
c.If you want a receiver to daisy chain the optical signal to another receiver (up to 10 receivers in a daisy chain):
•Connect the receiver’s Tx fiber cable to Rx on another receiver.
•Set each receiver to daisy chain mode. See Normal and Daisy Chain Modes, below.

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 at the number shown below that is closest to you.
Normal and Daisy Chain Modes
The receiver operates on one of two modes:
•Normal mode — The receiver outputs
•Daisy chain mode — The receiver daisy chains its Rx connector input through to its Tx connector output.
Use SIS commands issued to the connected unit to toggle between normal and daisy chain modes. Connect a PC to the Remote
66*0*n#
where:
n = 2 = enable daisy chain mode
n = 1 or 0 = disable daisy chain mode
NOTE: Up to 10 receivers, each in daisy chain mode, can be connected in a daisy chain to a single transmitter.
