SIS Command Validity Table
If only one fiber optic channel is enabled, the ability to configure the system through
SIS commands is limited by the lack of return communication from the receiver to the
transmitter.
z All commands issued through the transmitter are valid because the transmitter-to-
receiver link (link 1) allows signals to be forwarded to the receiver. However, responses
to queries originating from the transmitter about the status of the receiver return
invalid data.
z All configuration of the receiver by commands issued through the receiver are valid.
Attempts to configure the transmitter through the receiver in the absence of the
return link (link 2) are invalid.
The following table shows the availability of commands issued through the receiver when
only link 1 is active:
Adjustment Validity
Color Valid
Tint Valid
Brightness Valid
Contrast Valid
Audio gain/attenuation Invalid
Audio mute Valid
Audio output level Valid
Output configuration Valid
Input configuration Invalid
Daisy chain mode Valid
Test pattern Valid
Video mute Valid
FOX Extenders Control Program
The Extron FOX Extenders Control Program communicates with the transmitter and
receiver pair via the Remote RS-232 port on the rear panel of either FOX Tx/Rx AV unit or
the Config port on the front panel of the PowerCage 1600 enclosure.
The program is compatible with Windows 2000, Windows XP, and later versions of
Windows. Upgrades to the program can be downloaded from the Extron website
(www.extron.com).
