modulated or unmodulated IR signal, or both to this 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive
screw connector for bidirectional RS-232 and IR communication. See

RS-232 and IR connections

on page 12 to wire the connector.

NOTES:

If you connect only one fiber optic cable (see

item

, on the next page), you

will not receive RS-232 or IR reports from the controlled device. To receive
responses from the controlled device, you must install two fiber optic cables
and leave link 2 enabled (via an

SIS command

to the receiver [see page 25]

or using the Product Configuration Software [see

Receiver Input/Output

Configuration screen

on page 35]).

The FOX II DP can pass RS-232 commands and responses at rates up to
115200 baud.
