  • Page 1 The HHR (Hand Held Remote) family of Handheld Remote Controls utilize instant-on WiFi technology to provide a quick and seamless interface to an Elan Home Control system for control of media devices and various subsystems in the home. The HR10 model remote includes a LCD screen interface with 6 hard buttons for customizable control plus adds several of the most common hard buttons found on typical universal remotes.

  • Page 2: Installation Overview

    Install and test the system controller and all subsystems. Verify that the supported Elan Home Control System is configured with a static IP address. If it is not then stop and configure the controller with a static IP address and retest the system functionality and remote access to the system.
  • Page 3 Notes: • The HHR remotes may have issues connecting to the ELAN Configurator if you are using a MAC with a windows emulator. If this is the case then use a Windows PC to configure the remote. • You will need to have the wireless network SSID, encryption type and password, and a predefined static IP address for each remote you are setting up.
  • Page 4 12. Click the Load Controller Settings to automatically set the net mask, Gateway address, and Controller IP address. This will also set the HHR IP address to a default value based on the Gateway address loaded from the Controller. (Note: Your Elan Home Controller must be assigned a static IP for this function!) 13.
  • Page 5 17. Click OK to close the dialog box 18. Switch the remote power switch to ON, remove the USB cable and replace the remote endcap. 19. The remote will display “Configuring Radio” then connect to the access point and finally the system controller.
  • Page 6 ELAN C ONFIGURATION ETAILS The following table provides settings used in the ELAN Configurator. Please refer to the Configurator Reference Guide for more details. “<Select>” Select the appropriate item from the list (or drop-down) in the Configurator. “<User Defined>”, etc.
  • Page 7 ONNECTIONS What type of access point is required? Any 2.4 GHz wireless access point capable of one or more of the supported encryption types listed below should work. The access point MUST also allow connections from 802.11g devices. What encryption types are NOT supported. These options are not supported because the radio module in the HHR doesn’t implement them.
  • Page 8 Below are some basic guidelines for HHR Wi-Fi configuration. This information is for reference only and is provided to try to help if you are having trouble with the radio encryption configuration on a router or WPA Mode Cipher Type Notes TKIP Not recommended...
  • Page 9 IP to verify there is not another device using that address. vi. Reconfigure the HHR radio; check the SSID for typos and verify the controller IP is correct (this is the ELAN system controller IP address) vii. On the remote simultaneously press the –CLR button, the HOME button, and the MUSIC button located directly above the HOME button to access the SETUP MENU.

  • Page 10: Common Mistakes

    If you see an error message, verify all the Wi-Fi settings and repeat the remote configuration. 3. HHR USB not connecting. There may be issues with USB connections to ELAN Configurator when running on a MAC with an emulated windows environment. Use a Windows PC for reliable USB connection to the HHR.
  • Page 11 ROGRAMMING 1. Disrupted Communications Communications between the Elan Controller and HHR may be disrupted when the Configurator is being used to configure certain data. This is analogous to all Viewers (TP4/7/12) jumping to the Home Page when certain modifications are performed. Communications to and from the HHRs are disrupted from one to thirty seconds (or longer) depending on the number of HHRs in the system and the change being made.
  • Page 12 4. Roaming – having two or more Access Points If there are two or more Access Points, the HHR will connect to the Access Point with the strongest signal (usually the closest one). The only exception to this is if there is heavy traffic on the closest Access Point, the HHR may connect to the next closest (strongest signal) Access Point.
