Operation After all devices are connected and powered, the system is fully operational. The FOX T UWP 302 can be configured through SIS commands (see Simple Instruction Set Control on page 13) or the FOX Extenders control program (see FOX Extenders Control Program on page 21). Initial Power Up Upon initial power up, all the front panel LEDs blink simultaneously. They blink once to indicate the device is a multimode device or twice to indicate the device is a singlemode device.
SIS Configuration and Control This section describes remote control of the FOX T UWP 302 through SIS commands and basic installation instructions for the FOX Extenders Control Program (see to the FOX Extenders Control Program Help File for configuration and control details). To enable serial control of the transmitter, use a computer running the HyperTerminal or Extron DataViewer utility, or a control system to enable serial control of the transmitter.
Error responses When the FOX T UWP 302 receives an SIS command and determines it is valid, it performs the command and sends the corresponding response to the host device. If the command is determined invalid or contains invalid parameters, the transmitter returns an error response to the host.
