FOX3SR201 • Setup Guide
This guide provides quick start instructions for an experienced installer to set up and operate the Extron FOX3SR201 Fiber Optic
scaling receivers. This scaling receiver scales resolutions up to 4K @ 60 Hz, 4:4:4 video, and extends with 2-CH audio, RS-232,
and IR over ber. The FOX3SR201 is available in either singlemode (SM) or multimode (MM) transmission mode.
WARNING: The FOX3SR201 outputs continuous invisible light (Class 1 rated), which may be harmful to the eyes; use
with caution. Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the fiber cable is unplugged.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT, see the FOX3SR201 User Guide, at www.extron.com.
AVERTISSEMENT : Le FOX3SR201 émet une lumière invisible en continu (conforme à la classe1) qui peut être
dangereux pour les yeux, à utiliser avec précaution. Associez les bouchons anti-poussière à l’ensemble émetteur/récepteur
optique lorsque le câble fibre optique est débranché.

considerations, see the FOX3SR201 User Guide at www.extron.com.
Step 2 — Output Connections
a. Connect an HDMI display to the HDMI output (see figure1 ,D).
b. Connect an audio output device to the Audio 5-pole captive screw port (C) (see figure2 to wire the captive screw
connector).

ATTENTION:
• For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. DO NOT connect the sleeves to the negative (–)
contacts.
• Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne PAS connecter les manchons aux
contacts négatifs (–).
Step 3 — Control Connections
a. To pass serial, IR data, or control signals, such as for serial control of a projector,
connect the master device to the transmitter and the controlled device to the
receiver via the CONTROL 5-pole captive screw connector (see Eand figure3 for
wiring).
NOTE: For returned RS-232 and IR responses (from the scaling receiver to the
transmitter) install the receiver-Tx-to-transmitter-Rx fiber cable in step 4b.

FOX3SR201 • Setup Guide (Continued)
b. For remote control of a unit and loading firmware (LAN or USB only), connect a host device, such as a computer or control
system, to one of the following ports (see the FOX3SR201 User Guide, available at www.extron.com, for details):
• Remote RS-232 port — Connect the 3-pole captive screw connector to this port (F). The protocol for the Remote port
is as follows:
• 9600 baud • no parity • 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit • no flow control
• LAN Ethernet port — Connect an RJ-45 connector to this port (G).
• USB Configuration port — Connect a USB mini-B connector to this port (see figure5, Bon page2).
Step 4 — Throughput Connections
NOTE: See figure4 for fiber cable connections. Connect the transmitter to a receiver in one of
three ways:
• One way (transmitter to receiver) only, perform step 4a.
• Two way (transmitter to receiver and return), perform steps 4a and 4b.
• Output B is available to transmit 4K @ 60 Hz uncompressed signal when the FOX3
Uncompressed Video LinkLicense is purchased.
a. Connect the fiber between the A Out port on the transmitter and the A In port on the receiver (1).
NOTE: Ensure that the transmitter and connected receiver are in the same transmission
mode, singlemode (SM) or multimode (MM) and use the correct SM or MM fiber cable to
connect the devices.
b. To return serial data from the receiver (such as responses from a controlled device) or IR data
to the transmitter, connect a cable between the A Out port on the receiver and AIn port on the
transmitter (2).
c. To transmit an uncompressed 4K @ 60 Hz signal, using the Uncompressed Video LinkLicense,
repeat step 4a on the SFP B port on the scaling receiver

• Transmit Optical OUT LED — Lights solid green when powered and lights off when there is no power on the endpoint.
• Receive Optical IN LED — Lights solid green when light is present and lights off when there is no power or light present.
Step 5 — Power Connection
Connect the included external 12 VDC power supply into the 2-pole connector (see figure1, Aon page1). The power LED
lights (B) when the unit is receiving power.
Operation
After the receiver, 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 the display device has a compatible resolution and
refresh rate. If problems persist, call the Extron S3 Sales & Technical Support Hotline (see the contact number on page6).

Reset
Press the rear panel recessed reset button (see figure1, Ion page1) if the FOX3 scaling receiver rmware is corrupted
or the unit gets disconnected during the update process. The different resets allow the device to revert to the factory loaded
rmware, reset IP seetings, or reset conguration to default (see the Reset Modes table, for details on the reset modes).
Reset Modes
Mode Activation Result Purpose and Notes
Use Factory Firmware
1Hold in the recessed rear panel
Reset button while applying power
to the unit.
The unit reverts to the factory default
firmware for a single power cycle.
Use to revert to the factory default
firmware for a single power cycle if
incompatibility issues arise with user-
loaded firmware. All user files and settings
are maintained.
NOTE: Do not operate with the default firmware loaded by a mode 1 reset. Use it only to load the most current
firmware to the device.
Reset IP Setting
*4 Hold in the Reset button about
6seconds until the Power LED
blinks twice. Then, release
and press the Reset button
momentarily (<1 second) again
within 1 second.
Sets the following back to factory default:
• Port mapping
• IP address: 192.168.254.254
• Subnet mask address:
255.255.255.0
• Gateway address: 0.0.0.0
Turns DHCP off.
Power LED blinks 4 times during reset.
Use to reset all IP settings back to the
factory defaults.
Equivalent to SIS command 1ZQQQ.
Reset to Factory Default
*5 Hold in the Reset button until
the Power LED blinks three times
(once at 3 seconds, again at
6seconds, again at 9 seconds).
Then, release and press the Reset
button again within 1second*.
A complete reset to factory defaults
(except the firmware).
• Does everything mode 4 does.
• Clears port configurations.
• Resets all IP options.
• Clears all user settings.
• Clears all files from the unit.
• Power LED blinks four times.
Use to start over with default configuration
and uploading, and also to replace events.
Equivalent to SIS command ZQQQ.
NOTES:
• *For modes 4 and 5, nothing happens if the momentary press does not occur within 1 second.
• The factory configured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number. In the
event of a complete system reset, the passwords convert to the default, which is extron.
Front Panel Lockout Mode (Executive Mode)
The front panel lockout mode limits operation of the device from the front panel. When enabled, use SIS commands or the
Product Conguration Software (PCS) to congure the device. To enable or disable the front panel lockout mode through the front
panel, press and hold the Menu (see figure5, Don page2) and down arrow (E) buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds or
until the power LED blinks.
