Troubleshooting

If the DVI DL 201 Tx/Rx does not provide a high quality output

signal, check the following possibilities before contacting

your Extron representative (see the 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 on (lit amber). If they are not,

check the power supply connections to the units.
If a single power supply is being used to power both units, it

must be connected to the transmitter.

N

Do not try to power both units with a single power

supply connected to the receiver as that will not provide

adequate power to the transmitter.

There are some circumstances, particularly with longer

Unsheilded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable runs, where the receiver

may not get adequate power. Under these circumstances, it may

be necessary to use two separate power supplies, one for the

transmitter and one for the receiver.
