Introduction  
WARNING: The fiber optic I/O boards of the FOX matrix switchers  
output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes;  
use with caution.  
Do not look into the fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber  
optic cables themselves.  
Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the  
fiber cable is unplugged.  
AVERTISSEMENT : L'appareil émet une lumière invisible en  
continu, à utiliser avec precaution.  
Ne regardez pas dans les connecteurs de câble fibre optique sur  
le panneau arrière ou dans les câbles fibre optique eux-mêmes.  
Branchez les protections contre la poussière dans l'ensemble  
émetteur/récepteur lorsque le câble fibre optique est débranché.

About the FOX Matrix Switchers  
NOTES:  
Compatible optical signals are digital signals from 270 Mbs  
through 4.25 Gbps that are sent and received via fiber optic  
small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules.  
The FOX Matrix Switchers (see figure 1 for a FOX Matrix 3200 example)  
are configurable matrix switchers that distribute optical signals. Fiber  
optic I/O boards route signals that are compatible with all Extron  
FOX 500, FOXBOX, FOX, FOX 2G, and FOX HD-SDI fiber optic product  
lines. 3G/HD-SDI/SDI/ I/O boards route 3G, high definition serial digital  
interface (HD-SDI), and serial digital interface (SDI) signals. The matrix  
switcher routes any input signal to any combination of outputs. An  
optical input can be tied to optical outputs, 3G/HD-SDI SDI outputs,  
or both and an 3G/HD-SDI SDI input can be tied to 3G/HD-SDI/SDI  
outputs, optical outputs, or both. The matrix switcher can route multiple  
input/output configurations simultaneously.  
The FOX transmitter-to-receiver communications, including the  
serial link, occupy one matrix switcher input and output. This  
matrix switcher can also support the FOX return (receiver-to-  
transmitter) serial communications, but returning this signal  
stream to the transmitter occupies a separate matrix switcher  
input and output.  
The switcher has two internal, hot-swappable 100 VAC to 240 VAC,  
50-60 Hz, 175-watt (FOX Matrix 3200) or 180-watt (FOX Matrix 7200)  
power supplies that provide worldwide power compatibility and reliability.  
Configurability and Transmission modes  
The FOX Matrix Switchers are assembled from individual input/output  
(I/O) boards. The switcher can include up to four (FOX Matrix 3200) or  
nine (FOX Matrix 7200) I/O boards, each of which supports 8 inputs by  
8 outputs. The four types of I/O boards are:

Singlemode — Very long distance, up to 30 km (18.75 miles)  
Multimode — Long distance, up to 300 m (984 feet)  
NOTE: In this figure, the FOX 3G HD-SDI units  
are set to bidirectional transceiver mode.  
By adding or removing I/O boards, you can expand and contract the FOX  
Matrix Switchers from an 8-input by 8-output matrix to up to either:  
Figure 1. Typical FOX Matrix 3200 application  
The Extron proprietary fiber optic signal, generated by Extron fiber  
optic transmitters, can include video, stereo audio, and transmitter-  
to-receiver RS-232 serial communications. The video component of  
the signal can be RGB video, Digital Visual Interface (DVI) video, HDMI  
video, 3G/HD-SDI/SDI video, or low resolution video, depending on the  
transmitter and receiver.  
FOX Matrix 3200 — A 32-input by 32-output matrix  
FOX Matrix 7200 — A 72-input by 72-output matrix  
NOTE: On a fiber optic I/O board as delivered from Extron, all  
transceiver modules are configured the same: either all multimode  
or all singlemode. You can mix multimode and singlemode fiber  
optic I/O boards in a FOX matrix switcher, but you must ensure  
that you connect the proper transmission mode fiber cables to the  
board.  
The matrix switcher can be remotely controlled via its Ethernet LAN port  
or either of two serial ports, one on the rear panel and one on the front  
panel, using either the Windows-based Extron Matrix Switchers Control  
Program or the SIS.

The board position designators, printed beside the fans, correspond to  
the input and output numbers served by that position (1 - 8, 9 - 16, and  
so on).  
The location designators, A through H, correspond to the transceiver  
modules, numbered from left to right, each of which includes an input  
and an output.  
See figure 2. The input and output numbers supported by the I/O board  
in slot 2 (location 9 - 16) are as follows: A = 9, B = 10, C = 11, D = 12,  
E = 13, F = 14, G = 15, and H = 16.  
ATTENTION:  
Turn off power to the input and output devices, and disconnect  
their power cords before making connections.

Matrix Switchers Control Program  
Another way to operate the switcher is via the Matrix Switchers Control  
Program, which runs on computers that use the Windows® operating  
system This program is available on the Extron website. You can run this  
program from a PC connected to the rear panel Remote RS-232/RS-422  
port (item  
on page 8), LAN port (item  
on page 8), or front panel  
configuration port (item  
on page 10) on the switcher.

LAN port Connection  
3
The first time you connect your PC to the switcher via the LAN port,  
you may need to change the default settings (IP address, subnet  
mask, and [optional] administrator name and password) on the  
controller (see the "Configuring for Network Communication" in the  
FOX Matrix 3200 and FOX Matrix 7200 User Guide.  
The Download Center dialog box appears (see figure 6, on the next

Built-in HTML Pages  
Another way to configure and operate the switcher is via its factory-  
installed HTML pages, which are always available and cannot be erased  
or overwritten. The HTML pages that are pre-loaded on the switcher  
are accessible through its LAN port (item  
on page 8), connected  
via a LAN or WAN, using a web browser such as Microsoft® Internet  
Explorer®.  
Configuring for Network Communication  
The first time you connect a PC to a switcher via its LAN port, you  
may need to temporarily change the IP settings of the PC in order to  
communicate with the controller. Then you must change the default  
settings of the controller (IP address, subnet mask, and [optional]  
administrator name and password) in order to use the unit on an intranet  
(LAN) or on the Internet. After you have set up the FOX matrix switcher  
for network communication, you can reset the PC to its original network  
configuration.  
2. Choose the comm (serial) port that is connected to the switcher or IP  
[LAN].  
NOTE:  
The computer and the switcher must both be connected  
NOTE:  
For a comm port, check the  
to the same subnet on a LAN (using a straight-through cable).  
Alternatively, you can use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the  
controller directly to the computer.

Maintenance and  
Modifications  
This section describes repairing and reconfiguring the FOX matrix  
switchers by replacing components. Topics that are covered include:  
Removing and Installing a Board or Blank Panel  
Circuit boards can be added or removed to increase or decrease the I/O  
configuration (size) of the switcher.  
WARNING: The fiber optic I/O boards of the FOX matrix switchers  
output continuous invisible light, which may be harmful to the eyes;  
use with caution.  
Do not look into the fiber optic cable connectors or into the fiber  
optic cables themselves.  
Plug the attached dust caps into the optical transceivers when the  
fiber cable is unplugged.  
AVERTISSEMENT: L'appareil émet une lumière invisible en  
continu, à utiliser avec precaution.  
Ne regardez pas dans les connecteurs de câble fibre optique sur  
le panneau arrière ou dans les câbles fibre optique eux-mêmes.  
Branchez les protections contre la poussière dans l'ensemble  
émetteur/récepteur lorsque le câble fibre optique est débranché.  
NOTES:  
On a fiber optic I/O board as delivered from Extron, all transceiver  
modules are configured the same: either all multimode or all  
singlemode. You can mix multimode and singlemode fiber  
optic I/O boards in a FOX matrix switcher, but ensure that you  
connect the proper transmission mode fiber cables to the board.  
Typically, singlemode fiber has a yellow jacket and multimode  
cable has an orange or cyan jacket.  
For proper cooling and air flow, boards or blank panels should  
be installed in all locations during normal switcher operations.  
See A Note on I/O Boards on page 5 to understand the  
different arrangement of connectors on the I/O boards.  
The FOX Matrix Switcher components that are user-replaceable  
are hot-swappable. You do not need to power down the  
switcher to remove or replace a component.

Remove and replace and I/O board or blank panel as follows:  
8. Gently slide the board or blank panel into the enclosure. For an I/O  
board, slide the board toward the front panel until it meets resistance.  
1. For a board, disconnect any connected cables.  
9. Gently seat the board or panel in the backplane.  
2. Rotate the left and right knurled knobs to completely loosen the  
captive screws.  
10. Use a screwdriver to tighten the left and right knurled knob captive  
screws to lock the board or panel in place.  
3. Gently pull on the knurled knobs/captive screws to loosen the board  
or panel from the backplane.  
Removing and Installing a Power Supply Module  
4. Slide the board or panel out of the chassis (below).  
The two power supply modules (primary power supply and redundant  
power supply) are identical. Each power supply module has a 2-color  
LED, visible on the rear panel, that indicates the status of the power  
supply outputs. If the LED is lit green, the power supply is operating  
normally. If the LED is lit red, the supply has failed and should be  
replaced at the earliest opportunity. LEDs with identical meaning are also  
on the front panel.  
ATTENTION:  
Do not touch the electronic components or the connectors  
on the backplane or on the circuit boards without being  
electrically grounded. Handle circuit boards by their edges  
only. Electrostatic discharge can damage circuits, even if  
you cannot feel, see, or hear it.  
Ne pas toucher les composants électroniques ou les  
connecteurs sur la carte mère ou sur les circuits imprimés  
sans être électriquement relié à la terre. Manipuler les  
circuits imprimés en les tenant seulement par leurs bords.  
Les décharges électrostatiques (ESD) peuvent endommager  
l'équipement, même si vous ne pouvez pas le sentir, le voir  
ou l'entendre.  
ATTENTION:  
This unit uses double pole/neutral fusing. Do not operate the  
equipment with only one power supply cord connected.  
Cette unité utilise double pôles/fusion neutre. N'utilisez  
pas l'équipement avec seulement un cordon d'alimentation  
connecté.
