WHY FIBER OPTIC?
SmartAVI has created a full line of fiber optic extender products, understanding that this technology is su-
perior to traditional cabling. We use the highest quality fiber optic components for our products.
Fiber optic cables are:
Capable of transmitting over very long distances with no signal loss.
Immune to electromagnetic interference. In situations where there is considerable interference, fiber op-
tic cabling is the only solution.
Much more secure because they cannot be easily tapped. For this reason, military and law enforcement
agencies use fiber optic cables for the transmission of sensitive data.
Relatively inexpensive and small enough to be routed through small spaces.
APPLICATIONS
MEDICAL FIELD
In the medical field where sensitive electronic devices are used, isolating workstation computers can be a
matter of safety. The FDX-M2U allows the workstation computers to be housed in a central location, away
from sensitive devices.
INDUSTRIAL WORK AREAS
In industrial work areas that may be too harsh for a workstation computer, the FDX-M2P can consolidate
the computers into a safe location.
SECURE COMPUTING
When it comes to security, the FDX-M2P is an excellent deployment option. With the FDX-M2P, devices can be centralized
and secured from public access. This, combined with the intrinsic security of fiber optic cable, make the
FDX-M2P one of the most secure KVM solutions available.
INFORMATION KIOSKS/DISPLAYS
As with most information booths and kiosks, there is a risk of damage or theft. The FDX-M2U is the best
way to secure computer hardware, by consolidating it to a secure location away from public access.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1. Turn off the computer, displays, speakers and any peripheral devices.
2. Connect the USB cable from the computer to the FDX-TXM2P.
3. Optionally connect the RS-232 cable and audio cable from the computer to the FDX-TXM2P.
4. Do not connect the DVI input from the computer to the FDX-TXM2P. (Link 2 only)
5. Connect the DVI displays to the DVI connectors on the FDX-RXM2P. (DVI monitors recommended.)
6. Connect USB mouse and keyboard to the USB connectors on the FDX-RXM2P.
7. Optionally connect speakers and an RS-232 device to the FDX-RXM2P.
8. Connect the FDX-TXM2P to the FDX-RXM2P with multimode fiber-optic cables.
9. Power on the computer, displays, speakers and any peripheral devices.
10.Connect the power cords and power on the FDX-TXM2P and the FDX-RXM2P. The status LEDs will
flash. It will take up to 30 seconds for the FDX-M2P to learn the EDID settings from the Link 2 con-
nected DVI display. Once the EDID settings are learned the LEDs will stop flashing.
11. Connect the computer’s DVI input (Link 2) to the FDX-TXM2P.
WARNING: Be careful not to cross the Video Link Fiber Optic cables. Video Link 1 on the FDX-TXM2P must
be connected to Video Link 1 on the FDX-RXM2P. TX Video Link 2 must connect to RX Video Link 2.
Note: Reference the section on EDID LEARNING for the Link 1 input port.
HDMI monitors with DVI to HDMI adapters may work with DVI EDID settings loaded.
