Page 3: Overview
Contemporary Research offers two solutions for intelligent, interactive distributed media management, the ICC2-IRC and ICW-IRC IR TV Controllers. The ICC2-IRC communicates bi-directionally over the same RF coax that carries the broadband TV channels, dramatically simplifying system wiring. The ICW-IRC connects over a twisted-pair network using Category 5 or Category 3 wiring and connectors. -

RF Coax and iCC-Net Operation 1. Connect the RF Coax cable into the Antenna/Cable input on the IRC. 2. If the iCC-Net signal is operating, the Net LED will blink once per second (ICC2-IRC only). iCW-Net Connection (ICW-IRC) 1. Plug the iCW-Net RJ-45 connector into the iCW-Net input on the ICW-IRC. -

Page 9: Rs-232 Control Protocol
Overview RS-232 control for up to 4000 ICC2-IRC and ICW-IRC TV Controllers is provided through an iC-series Head-End Network Controller. The ICC-HE Head-End manages iC-Net communication over RF Coax to ICC2-IRC TV Controllers as well as ICW-IRC TV Controllers over twisted-pair Cat3/5 wiring. The ICW-HE Head-End operates on the twisted-pair network only. -

You've probably figured out that you never want to assign a virtual device number to an actual device in the system. If you assigned #1536 to a device, all the TV controllers in Zone 6 would respond every time you sent a command to that one device. Contemporary Research Corporation Virtual Device 1023... -
