You can create ad hoc content after you have completed a design. To create ad hoc content in an existing design, the
process is the same as in each case above. You need to disable Automatic Ad Hoc in the Layout Properties tab.

5.2 Remote Keypad Control

For convenience and ease of use, ad hoc users can control their local iCOMPEL using an infra-red remote keypad. This
enables them to change content at the touch of a button instead of having to access the iCOMPEL by their browser.
Note: the Remote Keypad tab indicates the status of the iCOMPEL infra-red receiver. The remote keypad feature only
works if the iCOMPEL infra-red receiver is connected.
The remote keypad has the following controls:
Volume (up and down) – Adjusts the master volume level in 10% divisions.
Station (up and down) – Controls the ad hoc TV and radio stations played. The user can scroll up and down the station
list.
Programmable buttons (A, B, C, and D) – Each can be programmed to correspond to a specific rendezvous point or
layout.
When the user presses a button, the iCOMPEL displays a status message at the top right of the screen.
To allow ad hoc users to control the display with the remote keypad, take these steps:
1. On the menu bar, click Layouts and select the one the remote keypad will control.
2. Click the Interaction tab.
