INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the Extender for DVI and RS232 Over One  
Fiber Optic Cable. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.  
Gefen  
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions  
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.  
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer  
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes  
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.  
The Gefen Extender for DVI and RS232 Over One Fiber Optic Cable  
The Extender for DVI and RS232 over One Fiber Optic cable is a complete  
solution allowing DVI and RS-232 to be extended to a monitor, touch-screen  
display, or other DVI device up to 1640 feet (500 meters) from the source.  
A single strand SC ber optic cable is used for the long distance extension,  
providing excellent protection from background electromagnetic interference  
(EMI), preserving both DVI and RS-232 signal integrity. Locking DVI, RS-232,  
and power connectors ensure secure connections.  
How It Works  
The Sender unit is placed near the DVI source and the Receiver unit near the  
Display. Connect the supplied DVI cable between the Sender unit and the DVI  
source. Connect a second DVI cable between the Receiver unit and the display.  
Connect the RS-232 cable from the RS-232 source to the Sender unit. Connect  
the RS-232 cable between the Receiver unit and the RS-232 connection on the  
display side. Connect a single strand of multi-mode SC-terminated ber optic  
cable between the Sender and Receiver unit. Connect the power supplies to both  
the Sender and Reciever unit.

OPERATION NOTES  
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR  
OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR DVI AND RS232 OVER ONE FIBER  
OPTIC CABLE  
When HDCP content is passed-through, DVI can only be extended up to  
1000 feet (300 meters).  
RS-232 data is bi-directional for direct commands and echo function or  
status information. See page 13 for information on RS-232 settings.  
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the power supplies to the Sender unit  
and the Receiver unit, see page 12 for information on calibrating the  
Extender.  
When changing ber optic cables, the calibration procedure must be  
repeated.

included Locking Dual Link DVI cable.  
2. Connect the DVI display to the Receiver unit using a Dual Link DVI cable.  
3. Connect an SC-terminated ber optic cable to the Sender unit. Connect the  
opposite end of the ber cable to the Receiver unit.  
4. OPTIONAL: Connect an RS-232 cable from the RS-232 serial port on the  
controlling device to the RS-232 port on the Sender unit. Connect another  
RS-232 serial cable from the RS-232 port on the Receiver unit to the RS-232  
port of the RS-232 device.  
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the power supplies to the Sender unit

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION  
DIP Switches  
On the bottom of the Sender unit and Receiver unit are a bank of four (4) DIP  
switches. These DIP switches provide control over EDID, Deep Color, and unit  
Calibration.  
It may be necessary to remove the strip of tape to expose the DIP switches.  
To change the DIP switch settings, move the appropriate DIP switch to its ON or  
OFF position using a small pointed object. The DIP switches and their functions  
are shown below.  
Sender unit  
DIP 1 - EDID Mode  
OFF - Local EDID  
When Local EDID mode is used, the EDID will be assembled by copying  
all video and audio features of the connected device. Deep Color support  
will be manually controlled: If Deep Color is supported by the display(s),  
DIP 2 should be set to the ON position (see DIP 2 - Deep Color, below). By  
default, the unit is shipped with DIP 1 in the OFF position.  
ON - Pass-Through EDID  
Allows all video and audio features of the connected devices to be passed to  
the source device without control over Deep Color.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION  
DIP 2 - Deep Color  
NOTE: DIP switch 2 is only functional when DIP switch 1 is set to the  
OFF position.  
OFF - Enables Deep Color support (12-bit color)  
Enables Deep Color support. In Pass-through EDID Mode, setting DIP 2 to  
the OFF position has no effect since all EDID information is passed through.  
ON - Forces 8-bit Color  
Disables Deep Color in the EDID. Deep Color management is only available  
when Local EDID is being used.  
DIP 3 - Calibration Mode  
OFF - Enables Calibration Mode  
Enables Calibration Mode. Make sure to set DIP switch 3 on both the  
Sender unit and Receiver unit when calibrating the Extenders. See page 12  
for details.  
ON - Calibration Mode Lock  
Locks the calibration settings. Set DIP switch 3 on both the Sender unit and  
Receiver unit to the ON position after the calibration process has completed.  
See page 12 for details on the calibration process.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE  
Calibrating the Sender unit and Receiver unit  
IMPORTANT: Before beginning the calibration process, make sure that  
the Sender unit and Receiver are not powered  
1. Make sure DIP switch 3 on both the Sender unit and the Receiver unit are in  
the OFF position (see pages 9 and 11).  
2. Connect one end of the ber cable to the Sender unit. Connect the other  
end of the ber cable to the Receiver unit.  
3. Connect the 5V DC Locking Power Supplies to the Sender unit and the  
Receiver unit. Do not overtighten the locking connectors. Plug the power  
cord into an available electrical outlet.  
The LED indicators on both the Sender unit and Receiver unit will alternate from  
red to green during the calibration process. The calibration process can take up  
to 120 seconds to complete.  
After the calibration process has nished, the LED indicators on both the Sender  
unit and the Receiver unit will turn solid green. Set DIP switch 3 to the ON  
position on both the Sender unit and the Receiver unit to lock the calibration set-  
tings.  
NOTE: If the ber optic cable is changed, follow steps 1 - 3 to repeat the  
calibration procedure.  
Troubleshooting  
If the Sender unit and Receiver unit did not complete the calibration process,  
the indicator LEDs on both Sender unit and Receiver unit will be red. Check  
the ber connections carefully and cycle the power on both the Sender unit  
and the Receiver unit and repeat the calibration procedure.  
When the indicator LED at one unit is GREEN and the other is RED,  
cycle power on the unit with the RED indicator. It is also recommended to  
cycle power on both the Sender unit and the Receiver unit to perform a full  
calibration.  
If the calibration procedure continues to fail, contact Gefen Technical  
Support under the Asking For Assistance section at the beginning of this  
manual.
