d
Fiber optic connector — For one-way video, audio, and serial communication from the FOX T USW 103 to a receiver, connect a fiber optic cable between the Tx port on the FOX T USW 103 and the Rx port on a receiver.
To return serial data from a receiver to the FOX T USW 103 or for HDCP-compliance, connect a fiber optic cable between the Rx port on the FOX T USW 103 and the Tx port on the receiver (see
Wiring for Fiber Communication
on page 7).
NOTES:
• Ensure the proper fiber optic cable is used. Typically, singlemode fiber optic cable has a yellow jacket and multimode fiber optic cable has an orange or aqua jacket.
• Only one fiber optic cable, transmitter-Tx-to-receiver-Rx, is required for video, audio, serial command transmission, but the HDMI signal output on the receiver will not be HDCP-compliant and the FOX T USW 103 will not receive RS-232 reports from the controlled device.
The Link LED indicators light when there is light presence on either fiber optic port.

CAUTION: Electric shock hazard. The two power cord wires must be kept separate while the power supply is plugged in. Remove power before wiring.
ATTENTION:
• This product is intended to be supplied by a 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 end product.
• 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 75 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.
• The length of the exposed (stripped) copper wires is important. The ideal length is
3/16 inch (5 mm).
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.

FOX T USW 103 Universal Switcher • Operation 10
Initial Power Up
Upon initial power up, the front panel LEDs blink simultaneously. They blink once for multimode or twice for singlemode. Afterwards, the LEDs return to their normal signal presence indication.
If a different fiber optic SFP module or no SFP module is connected, the LEDs first blink once or twice to identify the device, but then blink continuously.
Selecting an Input
To select an input from the front panel, perform the following actions:
1. Press the input selection button that corresponds with the desired rear panel input connector.
2. The corresponding LED lights to indicate the active input.
Enabling or Disabling Front Panel Lockout Mode (Executive Mode)
Push and hold (for about 5 seconds) inputs 1, 2, and 3 simultaneously until the front panel LEDs blink three times to enable or disable front panel configuration. In executive mode, contact closure and RS-232 control are still available. By default, executive mode is disabled.
Enabling Auto Switch Mode
Press and hold (for about 3 seconds) inputs 1 and 3 simultaneously until the front panel
Auto Switch LED lights. This prioritizes the highest numbered active input.
NOTE: Setting audio switch mode to prioritize the lowest numbered active input can be
done only with SIS commands (see Auto switch mode SIS commands on page 15).
Normal switch mode is the default mode.
Enabling Normal Switch Mode
Press and hold (for about 3 seconds) inputs 1 and 2 simultaneously until the front panel
Auto Switch LED turns off. This is the default mode.

SIS Configuration and Control
This section describes remote control of the FOX T USW 103 through SIS commands and basic installation instructions for the FOX Extenders Control Program (see to the FOX
Extenders Control Program Help File for operation details).
To enable serial control of the FOX T USW 103, use a computer running the HyperTerminal or Extron DataViewer utility, or a control system. Connect the computer to the
FOX T USW 103 through the front panel Config port or the rear panel RS-232 connector.
The protocol for the RS-232 port is as follows: 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control
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 USW 103 determines that a command is valid, it executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
All responses from the switcher 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 multimode or singlemode.
They are listed below.

The FOX T USW 103 returns this status message whenever a change in the fiber link, video, or audio connection occurs. X% indicates whether the link is present or not present
( 0 = not present, 1 = present) and X1) represents whether the device is multimode or singlemode ( MM = multimode, SM = singlemode).
FOX T USW 103 Universal Switcher • Remote Control 12
Error responses
When the FOX T USW 103 receives an SIS command and determines that 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 switcher or receiver returns an error response to the host. The error response codes are:
E01 = Invalid input number E13 = Invalid parameter
E06 = Invalid switch attempt in this mode E14 = Not valid for this configuration
E10 = Invalid command
E12 = Invalid port number
E17
E22
= Invalid command for signal type
= Busy
Using the command and response table for SIS commands
The Command and Response Tables begin on page 15. 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.

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.

1. Elevated operating ambient temperature — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient temperature. Therefore, install the FOX T USW 103 in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma = +122 ˚F, +50 ˚C) specified by Extron.
2. Reduced air flow — Install the equipment in a rack so that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is no compromised.
3. Mechanical loading — Mount the equipment in the rack so that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
4. Circuit overloading — Connect the equipment to the supply circuit and consider the effect that circuit overloading might have an overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
5. Reliable earthing (grounding) — Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
