with these ports can use infrared signals or unidirectional RS-232 serial signals to
control various devices (up to four per port for IR) via these ports. Set output signal type
(IR or serial) during configuration. The figure below shows wiring examples.

Serial control — Connect one of these ports to the serial control receive (Rx) and
ground pins of the device to be controlled. These ports have the same
options (see page 16) as the COM ports.
IR control — Connect one of these ports directly to the wired IR port of another device.
Or insert the wires from up to four IR Emitters into an IR port and place the heads of the
emitters over or next to the IR signal pickup windows of the devices. For wiring, see the
following diagrams or the IR Emitter Installation Guide (available on www.extron.com).
NOTE: Each emitter must be within 100 feet of the IPL for best IR control results.
