1. INTRODUCTION This keypad is a versatile and useful product for both system integrators and smart home users alike. This keypad can send commands to any Ethernet controlled device in your system. With 8 physical macro buttons and up to an additional 24 software macro buttons you can program and recall up to 32 distinct macros providing for complete control over your audio and video environment.
4. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS An active Internet connection from a switch or router for control of Ethernet devices. A PoE supporting network switch or hub is required to use the PoE power function, otherwise access to a local power outlet is needed. 5.
6. OPERATION CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS 6.1 Front Panel Display Display Source Source Screen Volume Screen Volume Down Down KEY 1~8 Buttons: Each button activates the customizable macro that has been assigned to it. Each button contains a trio of individually controllable coloured LEDs (red, green, and blue).
6.2 Rear and Side Panel CONTROL Port: Connect to an active Ethernet network via a switch or router to allow it to control other devices on the network and to be accessed via Telnet/WebGUI. Note: If the connected network switch supports the IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) standard, this unit can optionally be powered directly via this Ethernet connection.
6.3 Physical Installation Remove the decorative faceplate from the front of the unit by pulling on it. Note: The faceplate is held in place by 4 magnets. Place the unit into a US 2-gang electrical wall box (not included) and ensure that all necessary cabling (Ethernet, power) is properly fed through the back access holes in the wall box and connected to the back of the unit.
6.4 WebGUI Control Device Discovery Please obtain the “Device Discovery” software from your authorised dealer and save it in a directory where you can easily find it. Connect the unit and your PC/Laptop to the same active network and execute the “Device Discovery”...

WebGUI Overview After connecting to the WebGUI’s address in a web browser, the login screen will appear. Please enter the appropriate user name and password then click “Submit” to log in. Note: The default user name and password is “admin”. On the left side of the browser you will see the following menu tabs where all primary functions of the unit are controllable via the built in WebGUI.
6.4.1 Macro Settings Tab This tab provides a way to execute/edit the settings for the unit’s physical macro buttons. These macros can be executed by pressing the physical buttons on the keypad as well as via the WebGUI or Telnet. Control over the LED Demo Mode is also provided here.

Edit Macro Name: At the top of the Macro edit window is a text field where you can edit the name of the macro. Type your new macro name into the box and then click the disc icon ( ) to save ...
Page 15
Change Command Order: Within the edit window clicking on the up/down arrows will change the execution order of each command. Set Destination: Clicking on the edit destination icon ( ) allows you to edit the post-execution delay value as well as set the interface and all associated settings for that command.

To configure a condition test, select the Condition Port to read a value from, select a logical comparison expression, and then select a static value to use for the comparison. For example, if the following choices are made: Cond Port [1], If [=], Value [0] Then the unit will check the value of Condition Port #1 and if the value stored there equals “0”...
6.4.2 Extension Macro 1-3 Tab The three “Extension Macro” tabs provide a way to execute/edit the additional software-only macro buttons. These macros can only be executed via the WebGUI or Telnet. Macro activation and editing in these tabs is identical to the Macro Settings tab.
6.4.3 Command Settings Tab This tab provides a way to create, edit, or delete commands. The number of commands that can be stored in the keypad is limited by memory. It is generally recommended that commands be under 128 characters long (including spaces).
Page 19
1) Command Edit: To edit or create a new command, click on the “Edit” button. The name of the command and its text contents can be entered here. Condition Port Values: Values that are stored within one of the unit’s 64 Condition Ports can be inserted into a command by using the escape sequence format “\cN1N2”...
6.4.4 Device Settings Tab This tab provides controls to enable/disable or add/remove standard network connected devices to be used as the interface target for a macro command. Up to 16 devices can be defined for easy use with commands. The name of each device can be up to 24 characters long (spaces are not allowed).
3) Remove Device: To completely remove a device definition from the unit, click on the “DEL” button next to the device. Note: If a deleted device was used as the target of any commands in a macro, those command entries will automatically be removed from the macros as well.
Page 22
Name: Enter a name for this Polling Command. Time(sec): Enter the time interval to wait, in seconds, between polling transmissions. The minimum wait time is 1 second. Device: Use the dropdown to select a pre-defined target Device to send the Polling Command to.
6.4.6 Key Settings Tab This tab provides controls to enable/disable the “Repeat” and “Toggle” modes associated with each of the unit’s physical macro buttons. 1) Repeat Key: Enabling this mode will cause the button’s macro to be executed repeatedly as long as the button is being held down. 2) Toggle Key: Enabling this mode will link the two listed macros together and allow them to be toggled back and forth each time the associated button is pressed.
6.4.7 Schedule Tab This tab provides options to control the built in scheduling features of the keypad. You can set macro events to repeat on a regular daily/weekly schedule or configure a one-time event on a specific date. Events can be edited and deleted from the main tab by clicking on the appropriate button.
Page 25
1) Schedule Repeat: Items in this section will execute at their set times on the selected days (Sunday through Saturday) every week as long as they are marked as “Active”. “Repeat” events can be edited and deleted from by clicking on the appropriate button. Click on “Save Change” to save the changes to the scheduled event.
Page 26
2) Schedule Once: Items in this section are scheduled to occur a single time at the specified time and date. Each item will automatically change to “None Active” after they have been executed once. “Once” events can be edited and deleted from by clicking on the appropriate button.
6.4.8 Condition Tab This tab displays the current contents of all 64 Condition Ports and is for information display only. 6.4.9 User Config Tab This tab provides User Configuration options including changing the password for the Administrator account, and both the user name and password for the General User account.
6.4.10 Network Settings Tab This tab provides controls to change the network settings for the unit. You can manually set the IP address, netmask and gateway address in “Static IP” mode, or you can obtain an IP address automatically by enabling DHCP.
6.4.11 System Settings Tab This tab provides controls to make changes to various system settings. 1) Web Login Timeout: Set the length of time, in minutes, to wait before logging the user out of the WebGUI due to inactivity. This can be set from 0 (No timeout) to 60 minutes.
7) Serial Number: Displays the unit’s serial number. 6.4.12 Time Settings Tab This tab provides controls to set the system’s time, date, and time zone. After setting the system time, the unit will maintain the correct time, even when powered off, due to a battery backed up clock. If your country uses DST (Daylight Saving Time) you can enable or disable it here and configure the start and end times/dates so that your scheduled events will always occur at the correct times throughout the year.
6.5 Telnet Control Before attempting to use Telnet control, please ensure that both the unit and the PC are connected to the same active networks. Start your preferred Telnet/Console client, or use the built in client provided by most modern computer operating systems. After starting the client, connect by using the current IP address of the unit and port 23 (if the communication port number used by the unit has not been changed previously).
