Setup and Operation
1.
Determine which display device will provide the EDID information and configure the
DDC switches appropriately (see
DDC Switches
on page 6 and
Configuring EDID
on
page 10). If necessary, use the EDID Minder to read and store information from a display
(see
Configuring EDID
on page 10).
2.
Prepare twisted pair cables (see
Terminating shielded cable
on page 7).
3.
Select a receiver that is compatible with the DVI 201xi Tx and connect it to the
transmitter (see
Twisted Pair Cable Connections
on page 9).
4.
Connect the source device to the transmitter (see
DVI-D input
on page 5). Do not
power on the source device at this time.
5.
Connect the display device to the receiver (see the user guide for the receiver). If
required, connect a local monitor to the transmitter (see
Local monitor output
on
page 5).
6.
If required, connect any RS-232 or IR control devices (see
Control Signal Pass-through
on page 6).
7.
Connect the power supply to the transmitter (see
Power Input
on page 4 or the user
guide for the receiver). If required, connect a second power supply to the receiver. The
receiver can obtain power remotely from a power supply connected to the transmitter.
8.
Power on the display device.
9.
Power on and boot up the source device.
Troubleshooting
If the DVI 201xi Tx does not provide a high quality output signal, check the following
possibilities before contacting your Extron representative (see back cover for contact
information). Be sure to read all the suggestions as many of the issues have several possible
solutions.
No output signal — Check that the front panel LEDs for both the transmitter and receiver
are lit. The transmitter LED lights amber when it is receiving power. If it is not, check the
power supply connections to the units.
If a single power supply is supplying power to both units, it must be connected to the
transmitter. Ensure both twisted pair cables are firmly seated in the correct ports.
No output signal or poor quality signal — Check the integrity of the UTP or STP cables
between the transmitter and the receiver.

Ensure that the twisted pair cables are terminated correctly and to the same standard at
both ends (see
Terminating shielded cable
on page 7).

Ensure that each RJ-45 connector is firmly seated in its receptacle and that each
transmitter port is connected to the correct receiver port (see
Twisted Pair Cable
Connections
on page 9).

Ensure that the length of the TP cable does not exceed the guidelines for single link
connections (see
Single Link DVI transmission distances
on page 9).
