Appendix C: Connecting Extenders
The following are sample commands needed to connect selected transmitters and receivers through a VxRouter. These
examples will reference the appropriate Quick Start Guide.
A) VEL-24DH through a VX80
Quick Start Guide:
VX80_VEL-24DH_Quick_Start_Rev_B.pdf
Number of fibers: 4, L1, L3, K1, K2
Backchannel fiber: K2 (data flows from receiver to transmitter)
Tx fiber connections Rx fiber connections
• L1 -> 5R L1 -> 70T
• L3 -> 4R L3 -> 69T
• K1 -> 3R K1 -> 68T
• K2 -> 3T K2 -> 68R
Commands: (all upper case)
CI0005O0070 connects L1 video to RX
CI0004O0069 connects L3 video to RX
CI0003O0068 connects K1 TX data to RX
CI0068O0003 connects K2 RX data to TX (backchannel)
Now, let's assume a second receiver connected as follows:
• L1 -> 40T
• L3 -> 39T
• K1 -> 38T
• K2 -> 38R
The commands to connect this receiver to the transmitter are:
CI0005O0070 connects L1 video to RX
CI0004O0039 connects L3 video tx RX
CI0003O0038 connects K1 TX data to RX
Note: receiver 2 K2 data is NOT connected (backchannel).
Receiver 1 has full keyboard/mouse/USB/speaker access.
Receiver 2 has sound (speakers) but no keyboard/mouse/USB.
To move the keyboard/mouse/USB from receiver 1 to receiver 2, issue the following commands:
DI0068 disconnects RX 1 K2 (backchannel)
DI0038 disconnects RX 2 K2 (backchannel)
CI0038O0003 connects RX 2 K2 data to TX 1 (backchannel)
or
M006800000038000000380003 Macro command that combines all three commands
The two ' DI' commands are sent to insure that the keyboard/mouse data only goes to a single transmitter. If you are certain
that there are no other K2 connections in place, you may eliminate them. Eliminating them will open the possibility of
sending keystrokes and/or mouse commands to multiple servers at the same time – a situation that will lead to disaster.
