Page 2: Installation Overview
HR2. IR Blaster: The HR2 includes an IR blaster for providing power control of a video display where it is not possible to run an IR emitter or other control method to the display. - Page 3 2. Verify the HR2 firmware is as indicated in this document header or newer. If the firmware is not the minimum from this document header then stop and contact ELAN tech support for details on updating.
- Page 4 Controller. (Note: Your HC Controller must be assigned a static IP for this function!) 13. Enter your predetermined static IP address for the HR2 in the HR2 IP field. Note the static IP must be outside of the network DHCP range, and not currently in use by another device. If you do not know this address you will need to get it from your network administrator.
- Page 5 19. Once the remote is online and associated you can check the remotes name by pressing the Menu and Info button at the same time. The HR2 Screen will display the name as it is in the configurator on the interface tab. This is useful to identify which remote you are working on if you have multiple remotes in one install.
- Page 6 Notes: 1. The HR2 remotes are automatically discovered; refer to Initial Configuration Notes above 2. If not already chosen, select the COM device that refers to the HR2 Comm. Device set above 3. Select the desired Power button behavior 4. Select the desired return to media control time 5.
- Page 7 LASTER The HR2 can be used to flash IR out of its front IR blaster for local control of video displays when it is not possible to run an IR emitter or other control method to the display. Configuring the remote for local IR control is done in a similar fashion to any IR control in g!.
- Page 8 2) WPA-PSK + AES 3) WPA2-PSK + TKIP 4) WPA-Enterprise 5) WPA2-Enterprise These options are not supported because the radio module in the HR2 doesn’t implement them. What encryption types are supported 1) No encryption 2) 128 bit WEP 3) WPA-PSK + TKIP 4) WPA2-PSK + AES There are a few terms here which can appear with different names on different access points.
- Page 9 ELAN has verified the HR2 performance with the ELAN HWRTR100 router/access point. ELAN strongly recommends that you use this device as the router when using an HR2 in your installation. Due to the quantity of wireless access points available on the market today and their complexity ELAN tech support will not be able to provide support for connecting an HR2 to any wireless access point or wireless router other than the HWRTR100.
- Page 10 If it still fails then check the table above for encryption settings that work with the ELAN HWRTR100 and try another encryption method. b. If this test fails then your WAP may be faulty or incompatible with the HR2. Try using the ELAN HWRTR100.

Page 11: Common Mistakes
4. Incorrect universal function mapping for source control. Verify your button mapping on your source device page. 5. Actiontec routers – there have been a few reports of issues with the HR2 remotes communicating within an Actiontec served network. If you are using an Actiontec router and are seeing problems with HR2 communications then you will need to add the ELAN D-Link router behind the Actiontec router to resolve the problem. - Page 12 2. Heavy traffic may affect download times When a download to an HR2 is in progress, the amount of traffic on the Wireless Router / Access Point may affect the download times. Under extremely heaving traffic, downloads may fail and will be restarted.
- Page 13 While connected to the weaker signal, the HR2 performance may be degraded slightly. Once the HR2 goes to sleep and is awoken at a later time, it will attempt to connect to the stronger signal. If the nearest Access Point is not under heavy traffic at this time, the HR2 will connect to this Access Point.
