Initialize the RC-IR2 (see section 7.2) Use the ROUTER Mode keys (see section 7.3) 7.1 Configuration For the RC-IR2 to identify the switcher that it has to control, a ROUTER number (see section 7.2.1) and a GROUP number (see section 7.2.2) need to be assigned for specific identification of each switcher.
7.2.1 Assigning the ROUTER Number To assign the switcher’ s machine number to the RC-IR2, do the following: 1. Point the remote control transmitter at the remote receiver and press the ROUTER key. 2. Press the digit corresponding to the machine number This sets and saves the ROUTER number on the RC-IR2.

Groups 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 15, 17, and 18 Groups 4, 12, 14, and 16 7.3 Using the RC-IR2 keys in the ROUTER Mode The following sections describe how to: Use the <-> and <--> keys for selecting the single or the double digit modes (see section 7.3.1)
1 When switching units categorized in group 11 and in groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15 and 16, ignore step 1 which is inapplicable to units with just one output 2 Check the switcher’ s user manual to determine the number of configurations you can store. For example for the VP-66ETH, you can store up to six configurations KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY...
