RS-232  
d. If you want the PowerCage FOX 4G units to pass serial data or control signals, such as for serial control of a  
projector, connect the master device to the transmitter and the slave device to the receiver via the first three poles  
of the RS-232 Over Fiber captive screw connectors on both units.

Tx Rx  
NOTE: For RS-232 responses (from the receiver to the transmitter), you must install the cable in step 2d and leave the  
receiver in normal configuration.  
REMOTE  
RS-232  
e. For serial control of the transmitter and receiver, connect a host device, such as a computer, to the Remote RS-232  
port on either unit via three poles (Tx, Rx, and _) of the Remote RS-232/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connector on  
either unit. The protocol for these ports is as follows:  
ALARM

2
Tx Rx  
9600 baud  
1 stop bit  
no parity  
no flow control  
8 data bits  
Refer to the PowerCage FOX 4G Tx/Rx User Guide for detailed information about using the Simple Instruction Set (SIS™)  
commands and the Windows®-based FOX Extender program to set up and operate the transmitter and receiver and to take  
advantage of the various adjustments and test patterns available on the PowerCage FOX 4G units.  
REMOTE  
f. For remote monitoring of the status of the Rx optical link on either the transmitter or receiver, connect a locally  
constructed or obtained device to the two Alarm poles of the Remote RS-232/Alarm 5-pole captive screw connector  
on that unit. The two poles are shorted together when no light is detected.
