Introduction
WELCOME
Thank you for choosing the AdderLink XD150FX extender modules. Using ber optic
links, these compact modules allow you to transfer the multiple connections listed
below up to 4 kilometers from a host computer (see Transmission distances on the
right).
The high grade screening employed within the metal cased enclosures combined with
the immunity from interference of the ber optic links make the AdderLink XD150FX
modules highly suitable for use in ‘noisy’ industrial environments.
AdderLink XD150FX extender modules provide support for:
• High quality single- or dual-link DVI digital video (up to 2560 x 2048 @60Hz),
• USB keyboard and mouse plus two other USB devices (up to USB 2.0),
• An RS232 serial device at speeds up to 115200 baud,
• Mono microphone,
• Stereo speakers,
• Line-level audio in/out connections.
Transmission distances
The choice of ber used with the AdderLink XD150FX modules has a considerable
effect on the distance over which operation can take place. Using multi-mode ber you
can achieve distances up to 400m (1,312 feet); whereas, by using single-mode ber (and
accompanying SFP modules), the achievable maximum distance is increased to 4km (2.5
miles):

Installation
LOCATIONS
Please consider the following important points when planning the position of the
AdderLink XD150FX modules:
• Situate the transmitter module close to the system to which it will be connected and
near to a source of mains power. Place the receiver module in similar close proximity
to the peripherals that it will connect with, plus a source of mains power.
• Consult the precautions listed within the Safety information section.
• Connections do not need to be carried out in the order given within this guide,
however, where possible connect the power in as a nal step.
CONNECTIONS
Installation involves linking the AdderLink XD150FX Transmitter module to various ports
on the host computer, while the AdderLink XD150FX Receiver module is attached to
your peripherals:

Fiber optic link
Each pair of AdderLink XD150FX modules are supplied together with SFP ber optic
modules of your choice (single or multi-mode). The ber optic cable used must match
the SFP type and also be of a suitable type for the distance being covered. See see
Transmission distances for details.
To make the ber optic link
IMPORTANT: Ensure the power supply is off/disconnected before inserting or removing
an SFP module.
1 Remove the SFP module from its protective packing and insert it fully into the empty
slot on the AdderLink XD150FX.The XD150FX transmitter slot is located on the
front panel; the XD150FX receiver slot is situated on the rear panel.

To remove an SFP module
1 If tted, remove the ber optic connector from the SFP
module (press down on the upper tab of the ber optic
connector to release it).
2 Unclip the small wire extraction lever and open it out
(this action releases a locking tab and also provides a
grip point).
3 Gently pull on the extraction lever to withdraw the SFP
module from the slot.
4 If the SFP module and/or ber optic connector will
remain unused for any period of time, be sure to t the
protective inserts to keep the optical interfaces clean.
Note: In order to maintain a high level of condence in the ber
optic link, the SFP’s used must be those supplied by Adder: (SFP-
MM-LC-4G or SFP-SM-LC-4G).
If alternative parts are used, the system will detect this and will
ash the front panel LNK indicator.

Transmitter serial link
The Options port provides an RS232 serial
connection with the receiver module.
When serial devices are attached to the
Options ports on the transmitter and
receiver modules, the units transparently
convey the signals between them, via the
ber optic link, at rates up to 115200 baud
- no serial conguration is required. An
optional serial cable (part number:VSC45)
is available from Adder.
To connect the serial port
1 Use the optional serial cable (VSC45) to link the Options port on the rear panel of
the transmitter module with a vacant RS232 serial port on your host computer.
Please see Appendix 1 for pin-out details of the Options port.
From the serial port of
your host computer
Transmitter USB link
The transmitter module requires a single
USB connection to the host computer; this

Transmitter power connection
There is no on/off switch on either of
the AdderLink XD150FX modules, so
operation begins as soon as power is
applied.The power adapters supplied with
the modules use locking-type plugs to help
prevent accidental disconnections; please
follow the instructions shown on the right
whenever disconnecting a power adapter.
To connect the power adapter
1 Attach the output plug of the supplied power adapter to the
power input socket on the right side of the rear panel.
2 Connect the IEC connector of the supplied country-specic power cord to the socket
of the power adapter.
3 Connect the power cord to a nearby mains supply socket.
To disconnect the power adapter
1 Isolate the power adapter from the mains supply.
2 Grasp the outer body of the power adapter plug
where it connects with the module.
3 Gently pull the body of the outer plug away from
the module.As the body of the plug slides back,
it will release from the socket and you can fully
withdraw the whole plug.
IMPORTANT: Please read and adhere to the electrical safety information
given within the Safety information section of this guide. In particular, do not
use an unearthed power socket or extension cable.
Note: Both the modules and the power supplies generate heat when in operation and will
become warm to the touch. Do not enclose them or place them in locations where air cannot
circulate to cool the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in ambient temperatures
exceeding 40 degrees Centigrade. Do not place the products in contact with equipment whose
surface temperature exceeds 40 degrees Centigrade.

ACCESSING THE MANAGEMENT APPLICATION
AdderLink XD150FX modules generally congure themselves automatically, collecting EDID information from the attached
monitor and passing it to the host computer. In most cases the modules will begin working together correctly as soon as they are
connected. Where conguration changes are required (or remote monitoring is required), the management application provides
an intuitive user interface.
To access the management application
1 Use a computer that is directly or indirectly (i.e. via a network switch) connected to the XD150FX transmitter module. If you
need to make a temporary connection, see right Ü
2 Run a web browser on your computer and enter the IP address of the transmitter module. By default, the IP address is set to
192.168.1.22. If required, you can change the default IP address or alternatively, choose automated address selection by DHCP
server. See the Congure page.
3 If requested, enter the
registered password to log
on.
Note:The default user and
password are ‘admin’ and
‘password’ respectively.

network port ( ) on the rear panel
of the XD150FX transmitter module to
your computer’s network port.

These twin sections list numerous details for each module:
• Firmware, hardware and SFP (optical module) versions.
• Unit (main circuit board) and SFP (optical module) temperatures.
• Up-time.
• EDID - lists the currently registered video monitor, together with its
serial number and a full raw hex listing of the declared EDID signature.
• Identify - Click the Flash LED button to ash the front panel indicators
of the chosen module. Click once for ve ashes, twice for indenite
ashing and a third time to stop the ashing.
• Restart - If a module becomes unresponsive, click the relevant Restart
button to reboot the required module.
Factory Reset
Click this button to perform a full factory reset on both modules.All
settings will be returned to their default values; the transmitter module
will default to use the IP address of 192.168.1.22.
Link Quality Test
This section tests and displays the quality of the data link between the
two modules.
Firmware Upgrade
Use this section to perform a rmware upgrade on both modules using
les available on request from Adder technical support.
Note: Firmware upgrades must be performed in pairs, i.e. the transmitter and
receiver together. If one of the modules is not connected, the upgrade will not
be carried out.
