Figure 8. Power Connector Wiring

CAUTION: Electric shock hazard. The wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.

- This product is intended to be supplied by a UL Listed Power Unit marked "Class 2" or "LPS," rated 12 VDC, 1.0 A minimum. Always use a power supply supplied by or specified by Extron. Use of an unauthorized power supply voids all regulatory compliance certification and may cause damage to the supply and the unit.

- Unless otherwise stated, the AC/DC adapters are not suitable for use in air handling spaces or in wall cavities. The installation must always be in accordance with the applicable provisions of National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, article 725 and the Canadian Electrical Code part 1, section 16. The power supply shall not be permanently fixed to a building structure or similar structure.

- Power supply voltage polarity is critical. Incorrect voltage polarity can damage the power supply and the unit. The ridges on the side of the cord identify the power cord negative lead.

TIP: Do not tin the stripped power supply leads. Tinned wires are not as secure in the captive screw connectors and could be pulled out.

Operation

After all devices are connected and powered, the system is fully operation. The FOX T UWP 302 can be configured through SIS commands (see SIS Configuration and Control on page 15) or the FOX Extenders control program (see FOX Extenders Control Program on page 23).

Initial Power Up

Upon initial power up, all the front panel LEDs blink simultaneously. They blink once to indicate the device is a multimode device or twice to indicate the device is a singlemode device. Afterwards, the LEDs return to their normal signal presence indication.

If a different SFP module or no SFP module is connected, the LEDs first blink once or twice to identify the device and then blink continuously.

System Reset

Use the Reset button beneath the faceplate to return the device to default settings or to restore factory-shipped firmware (see to the Reset Mode Summary table below for more details). If necessary, remove the faceplate.

Reset Mode Summary

• Command and Response Tables for SIS Commands

Simple Instruction Set Control

SIS Programming Guide

Host-to-device and device-to-host communication

SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No special characters are required to begin or end a command sequence. When the FOX T UWP 302 determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device. All responses from the transmitter or receiver to the host end with a carriage return and a line feed (CR/LF = ←), which signals the end of the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Device-initiated messages

When a local event occurs, the device responds by sending a message to the host. The device-initiated message may depend on whether the device is a multimode or singlemode unit. They are listed below.

© Copyright YYYY, Extron Electronics FOX T UWP 302 MM, Vx.xx, 60-1232-xx
© Copyright YYYY, Extron Electronics FOX T UWP 302 SM, Vx.xx, 60-1232-xx
YYYY is a four digit year. Vx.xx is the firmware version number. 68-1232-xx is the part number of the model.

Reconfig

The FOX T UWP 302 returns this message when there is any change to the input frequency on the currently selected input.

1LnkX5•2LnkX5•VidX5•AudX5•X10•TX←

The FOX T UWP 302 returns this status message whenever a change in the fiber link, video, or audio connection occurs. × 5 indicates whether the link is present or not present ( = not present, 1 = present) and × 10 represents whether the device is multimode or singlemode (MM = multimode, SM = singlemode).

Error responses

When the FOX T UWP 302 receives an SIS command and determines it is valid, it performs the command and sends the corresponding response to the host device. If the command is determined invalid or contains invalid parameters, the transmitter returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:

E01 = Invalid input numberE14 = Not valid for this configuration
E06 = Invalid switch attempt in this modeE17 = Invalid command for signal type
E10 = Invalid command E22 = Busy
E13 = Invalid parameter

Using the Command and Response Tables for SIS Commands

The Command and Response Tables begin on page 18. Lowercase letters are acceptable in the command field except where indicated. Figure 9 shows the hexadecimal equivalent of ASCII characters used in the command and response tables.

Figure 27. I/O Configuration Tab

HDCP panel

The HDCP Authorized setting allows a user to turn off HDCP communication on discrete inputs. This setting is useful for devices such as Mac computers, iPhones, iPads, and some Windows 7 sources that will always encrypt their output if the downstream sink is capable of HDCP. By not allowing HDCP signals on an input, most content from these sources can be passed as a non-encrypted signal to analog and digital video outputs. In a video system that has requirements to not transmit HDCP encrypted data (such as non-HDMI FOX Extenders), HDCP Authorized should be turned off at the input to keep the non-HDMI FOX Extender's output unencrypted.

In the HDCP panel, select the 0n radio button to enable the HDCP Authorized setting or select 0ff to disable the HDCP Authorized setting.

NOTE: Default setting: HDCP Authorized is 0n.

Plus Mode Transmission panel

Plus mode can support rates up to 1920x1200 @ 60Hz and 2K, with embedded audio, and is HDCP compliant. Non-Plus mode supports rates up to 1600x1200 and 1080p, is HDCP compliant, but does not support audio de-embedding (analog audio is still supported).

In the Plus Mode Transmission panel, click the Enabled radio button to enable Plus mode. To disable Plus mode, click the Disabled radio button.

NOTE: Default setting: Plus Mode is Enabled.

VGA Input Video Format panel

This setting selects RGB or YUV input video format for the VGA input.

NOTE: Default setting: VGA Input Video Format is Auto.
