Connect the IR Ports/Serial Ports (Optional)

The HC-200 provides 4 IR ports; Jacks 1 and 2 can be reconfigured
independently for serial communication. Any jack not used for serial can be
used for IR. Connect a device to the HC-200, like a receiver or disk changer
using the special serial cable (optional). Serial ports support many different
baud rates. The table below shows the serial communication values.

To configure a port for serial or for IR, make the appropriate connections in
your project using Composer.

Set Up IR Emitters or IR Blaster

Your system may contain third-party products that are controlled with IR
commands (usually through remote controls). To provide a way for the Home
Controller to control a device that only recognizes IR commands, complete
one of the following setups: IR Emitters or IR Blaster.
IR Emitters
1. Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the 4 IR stick-on emitters pro-
vided into an IR Out port on the HC-200.
2. Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR receiver on the media player,
TV, or other target device to drive IR signals from the HC-200 to the
target.
IR Blaster
In addition to IR emitters, the HC-200 is also equipped with an IR blaster,
which is located just left of the front LEDs. To use the blaster instead of an IR
emitter:
1. In Composer, connect the Front IR Out of the Home Controller to the IR In
of the device you want to control.
2. Test and verify that the HC-200 is positioned in such a way that the
blaster can reach the device you want to control.

Troubleshooting

To reset the HC-200, press and hold the Identification button until the WiFi
LED blinks orange, signaling the start of the boot process.
To reset to network defaults (wired connection), power cycle the HC-200 and
hold the Identification button until the Data, Link, and Power LEDs are solid
blue, and then immediately release.
If during the boot sequence, the WiFi LED stays orange, press and hold the
Identification button until the LED blinks blue, then release.
