Optional Control Modules and IR 402 Remote Control

The MLC can "learn" IR commands from a VCR's, DVD's, tape deck's or other
device's remote control, allowing you to create an IR driver fi le that can be
incorporated into the MLC's event scripts. A command can be associated with
each of the buttons on an optional infrared control module (such as the Extron
IRCM-VCR, IRCM-DVD, IRCM-DVD+, or IRCM-DV+) in order to allow limited
control of source devices. ACM control modules provide limited remote control
of adjustments to a peripheral MediaLink Switcher (MLS).
A total of four control modules (a maximum of four control
module addresses) can be installed with this MLC. Refer to the
Control Modules User's Manual and the IRCM-DV+ Control
Module User's Manual for installation details. See chapter 4 of
this manual for special instructions for the IRCM-DV+.

initiate IR learning via a front panel connection after the MLC has been installed.
Connect a Windows-based PC or an RS-232 control system to this 2.5 mm
mini stereo-style (tip-ring-sleeve) connector. You can use the Extron 9-pin D
to 2.5 mm stereo mini TRS RS-232 cable (part #70-335-01) or make your own
cable. See page 2-4 for a wiring diagram and port protocol.
Extron products use. The MLC confi guration software automatically sets
the connection for the appropriate speed. If using HyperTerminal or a similar
application, make sure the PC connected to these ports is set for 38400 baud.
