Pairing the transmitter and receiver
You can initiate pairing from either the transmitter or the receiver (the procedure described
below is for transmitter-to-receiver pairing). To pair the transmitter and receiver:
1.
Using a stylus or small screwdriver, press the recessed
front panel and hold it for 1 second. The front panel Link LED on the transmitter begins
blinking as pairing is initiated.
2.
Within 10 minutes of pressing the transmitter
button and hold it for 1 second. The receiver front panel Link LED begins to blink.
When the LEDs of both units have stopped blinking and remain lit steadily, the pairing is
complete.
NOTES:
After they have been paired, the transmitter and receiver can be powered down and
disconnected from each other.
A transmitter and receiver need to be paired only once (at startup). If the paired
units are reconnected and powered on, they do not have to be paired again.
For the AAP and decorator-style models, be sure to perform this procedure before
mounting the units.
Canceling pairing
To stop the pairing process before it completes, do either of the following:
Do not perform step 2 of the pairing process described above (that is, do not press the
button within 10 minutes).
Pair
Press the transmitter

Connecting for Serial Communication

The Config ports on both the transmitter and the receiver enable communication with a
computer via an RS-232 connection.
NOTE: On the rack-mountable models (USB Extender Plus standard and HID-only), the
Config port is on the front panel and easily accessible.
On the AAP and decorator-style models, the Config port is on the rear panel, so that it
is not available after the unit is mounted. Any configuration via this port must be done
before the product is mounted.
To enable serial communication, connect a 9-pin D-to-2.5 mm cable (not included) from
the computer serial port to the Config port on the transmitter or receiver. You can enter SIS
commands at the computer and issue them to the transmitter or receiver to control and
configure the unit. The port protocol is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
