FOX T USW 203 • Installation Guide
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT, see FOX T USW 203 User Guide at www.extron.com
This guide provides instructions for an experienced installer to install and connect the Extron FOX T USW 203 Universal Switcher with an
integrated ber optic transmitter.
NOTE: The FOX T USW 203 is not compatible with the FOX 3G HD-SDI, FOX 3G DVC, or FOX AV models.
WARNING: Risk of serious physical injury. The device outputs continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes; use
with caution.
• Do not look into the ber optic cable connectors or into the ber optic cables themselves.
• For additional safety, plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the ber optic cable is unplugged.
Installation
Step 1 — Mounting
Turn off or disconnect all equipment power sources and
mount the transmitter and receiver as required.
Step 2 — Making Connections
aAnalog video input connector —Connect an analog RGB or YUV video source to this female 15-pin HD VGA connector, labeled input 1.
bAnalog video loop-thru connector —Connect an analog RGB or YUV video display to this female 15-pin HD VGA connector for a local
display. This output is always active.
cHDMI input connectors —Connect a source device to these female HDMI connectors, labeled inputs 2 and 3. They can accept HDMI, DVI,
or DisplayPort video signals.
NOTE: Video input from a DisplayPort source must be a dual mode DisplayPort format.
TIP: Use an Extron LockIt®Lacing Bracket to secure an HDMI cable to each device as follows.
1. Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connector.
2. Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw from the panel enough to allow a
LockIt lacing bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not have to be removed.
3. Place a LockIt lacing bracket on the loosened screw and against the HDMI
connector, then tighten the screw to secure the bracket.
ATTENTION: Do not overtighten the HDMI connector mounting screw. The shield it
fastens to is very thin and can easily be stripped.
4. If desired, repeat steps 2 and 3 for the opposite mounting screw and bracket.
5. Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connectors and the LockIt lacing brackets as shown.
6. While holding the connectors securely against the lacing bracket, use pliers or similar tools to tighten the tie wrap, then
remove any excess length.
dAnalog audio input connector — Connect an unbalanced analog audio input source to the 3.5 mm TRS jack. This is shared by all three
video inputs. HDMI embedded audio is given priority over analog audio.
eHDMI switched output connector —Connect a display device to the female type A HDMI output connector for switched local HDMI output
of input 1, 2 or 3.
fFiber optic connector —Connect a ber optic cable between the Tx port on the FOX T USW 203 and the Rx port on a receiver. To return
serial data from the receiver or for HDCP-compliance, connect a cable between the Tx port on the receiver and Rx port on the transmitter.
The Link LEDs for the Tx and Rx ports light when there is ber light present on the corresponding port.
gRS-232 Over Fiber and Alarm connector —To pass serial command signals to a receiver,
connect the host device to the leftmost poles (Tx, Rx, and G) of this 5-pole captive screw
connector. For remote monitoring of the status of ber optic link 2, connect a custom
monitoring device to the rightmost poles (1 and 2) of this 5-pole captive screw connector.

remote input selection.
iRemote RS-232 connector —For serial RS-232 control of the FOX
T USW 203 and rmware upgrades, connect a host device or control
system to this 3.5 mm, 3-pole captive screw connector (see Remote
Control below).
jPower connector —Connect the provided 12 VDC external power
supply to this 2-pole captive screw connector.
kConfig port —Connect a host device, such as a computer, to the front panel mini Type B USB connector to provide
conguration, control, or rmware upgrades to the switcher (see Remote Control below).
Operation
Input Selection Buttons
The three buttons with corresponding LEDs on the front panel (labeled Mode or 1, Normal or
2, and Auto or 3) manually select inputs 1 through 3 and enable different operating modes. The
LEDs light to indicate the active input and provide feedback.
Input selection
Press the input selection button that corresponds with desired rear panel input connector to
activate that input signal.
Front panel lockout mode (executive mode)
Push and hold input buttons 1, 2, and 3 simultaneously for 5 seconds to enable or disable front panel conguration. All of the front panel LEDs
blink 3 times. In executive mode, contact closure and RS-232 control are still available.
Auto switch mode
Press and hold input buttons 1 and 3 simultaneously for 3 seconds. After releasing the buttons, the Auto Switch LED lights to indicate that auto
switch mode is enabled. This prioritizes the highest numbered active input.
NOTE: Setting auto switch mode to prioritize the lowest numbered active input can be done only with SIS commands (see the
FOX T USW 203 User Guide for more details).
Normal switch mode
Press and hold inputs 1 and 2 simultaneously for 3 seconds. After releasing the buttons, the Auto Switch LED turns off to indicate that auto switch
mode is disabled. This is the default mode.
Remote Control
The FOX T USW 203 can be controlled through the Extron FOX Extenders Control Software, SIS commands, remote RS-232, or a contact closure
device (see Step 2 - Making Connections for connection details).
Install the FOX Extenders Control Software on a computer running a Windows®operating system. The control program can be installed from the
Extron Software Products DVD or downloaded from the Extron website, www.extron.com (see the
FOX T USW 203 User Guide).
