Example 5 for more information. ONTROL The EFIR11 sends commands at a data rate of 9600 with no flow control. Make sure that the Vortex device has it's baud rate at 9600 and it's flow control set for Off. To...
1.) P HONE This button will terminate a phone call. It is similar to hanging up a handset after you have finished a phone call. This has the same efffect as pushing the front panel P HONE button when the Vortex is off-hook. ONNECT 2.) P HONE...
3.) V OLUME This is a user defined button that executes Macro 53 on all Vortexes. The reason that the button is user defined is that different rooms will use different outputs that are sent to the amplifier. Here is an example of how to create a Volume Down Macro for Output A. For this example, we will attenuate the output by 2 dB each time the Volume Down button is pushed.

4.) V OLUME This is a user defined button that executes Macro 54 on all Vortexes. The reason that the button is user defined is that different rooms will use different outputs that are sent to the amplifier. Here is an example of how to create a Volume Up Macro for Output A. For this example, we will increase the output by 2 dB each time the Volume Up button is pushed.
5.) M UTING Using the mute buttons will mute the Output of the Vortex. By default, it does not mute the input, although it can be programmed to mute inputs and outputs via a Macro. This button prohibits the local audio from being sent to the far side. It does not prohibit the remote audio from being heard in the local room.
6.) K EYPAD These buttons allow you to dial numbers 0-9, *, and # as well as perform functions such as Flash and Redial. 0-9, *, These buttons perform exactly as a standard telephone. When these buttons are pressed, the corresponding DTMF tone will be sent to the local loudspeakers to give audible indication that the button was pushed.
7.) S PEED These keys can be used to recall a previously stored number in the Vortex. Note that you can also use the User Macro keys to store additional numbers. S 1 is PEED associated with Macro 67 and S 2 is associated with Macro 71.
8.) U 0-34 ACROS These buttons execute User Macros 0-34 in the Vortexes. Note that these Macros must be programmed with commands in order for these buttons to have any effect on the system.

Below is a diagram and a list of each of the commands that are associated with each button of the remote control. This may be helpful to refer to this list to know what functionality has already been programmed into the remote control. The ^M after each command signifies a carriage return (i.e.
XAMPLES 1: M XAMPLE OCAL ODEC UDIO IN ADDITION TO ELEPHONE UDIO Let's say that you want the Mute On and Mute Off buttons to also mute another source in addition to the telephone. For this example, let's say that the other source is a codec that uses Input and Output C.

Now, go to Macro 55 and right click your mouse under the C column. Select OMMAND , C, M NSERT OMMAND NPUT You should see this when you are finished:...
2: M XAMPLE OCAL AND EMOTE UDIO ELEPHONE Let's say that you want the M and M buttons to mute both local and remote telephone audio. This functionality would be similar to a Hold function on a telephone. Initially, let's assume that we only want to mute incoming telephone audio on Input T: First, go to the Macros page of Conference Composer and scroll down until you see 52.
Page 22
You should see this when you are finished: Now, whenever the Mute On button is pushed, the input and output to the telephone will be muted. Likewise, when the Mute Off button is pushed, the input and output to the telephone will be unmuted.
3: M XAMPLE OCAL AND EMOTE UDIO ELEPHONE ODEC Let's say that you want the M and M buttons to mute both local and remote telephone and codec audio. Let's assume that the Codec is connected to the Vortex unit via Input C and Output C. First, follow the steps in Example 2 for muting local and remote telephone audio.

4: S XAMPLE ENDING OMMANDS TO OTHER INKED NITS For this example, we will take advantage of the BROADA command. This command let's one Vortex broadcast to other Vortexes. Let's say that we have a EF2280 and a EF2241 that are linked via EF Bus in a system. We want the Mute On and Mute Off commands to mute the audio to the telephone hybrid in the EF2241 and we also want to mute the audio to a codec that is connected to Input and Output C of the EF2280.
5: M XAMPLE AKING OMMANDS We understand that maybe you might not want all of the pre-programmed functionality of the unit. For example, maybe you don't want the doorbell tones to be generated for Mute On and Mute Off (the tones audibly indicate that the Vortex received the command to either Mute On or Mute Off).

If you know the RS232 command syntax, you can type in all commands for Macros 50- 71. Here's what those commands would look like:...
Power: External 120 VAC Connector: RS-232 Male Baud Rate: 9600 Flow Control: None Cable Length: 6 feet YSTEM Range: Maximum 50 feet from transmitter to receiver Angle of Acceptance: 90 - 120 degrees Compliance: The EFIR11 complies with FCC and CE requirements...
ROUBLESHOOTING • Make sure the receiver is plugged in. There should be a red LED that is lit constantly on the top right of the receiver. • Check the Device ID of the EF Device. An incorrect ID will prevent the receiver from sending commands to the device.
