Extron electronic manual RS-232 Ports, FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV Configuration

Configuration

RS-232 Ports

Both the FOX 2G Tx AV and FOX 2G Rx AV have a front panel TRS port and a rear panel captive screw port, which can provide SIS commands to configure the tranmitter/receiver settings when connected to a control device.

SIS commands for the FOX 2G Tx/Rx AV are shown (starting on page 3-8).

NThe two comm ports work in parallel. However, depending on the computer or the communication settings, connecting to both comm ports at once may result in one or both ports not working. Extron recommends that only one comm port (front or back) is used at a time.

The protocol for both ports is 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.

NBoth RS-232 Remote and RS-232 Over Fiber signals require fiber optic link 1 and link 2 for full functionality (see page 3-4).

The front panel Config port uses a 2.5 mm mini jack connector.
