EF- IR11
Remote Infrared Controller for Vortex Products
Controlling your Vortex voice conferencing products is as simple as
the push of a button. With a variety of controls at your fingertips, the
Vortex EF-IR11 controller makes it easy to adjust volume, bring a telephone
call into the conference, or execute custom commands.
Users of Vortex voice conferencing products fre-
quently need to move around the room. For
example, a teacher in a distance learning class-
room might be moving between a whiteboard
and lectern, as well as walking up and down the
aisles in the classroom. Users such as these
benefit from simple handheld controllers such as
the Vortex EF-IR11.
The EF-IR11 provides direct control of the Vortex
EF2280, EF2201, EF2211 and EF2241 products.
With the EF-IR11, a user can adjust volume,
mute and unmute audio, activate a phone line,
dial out or answer calls, or execute any of 35
macros that are user-programmed into the
Vortex units. Macros could include instructions
for codec controls, muting and unmuting of tele-
phone callers or executing a preset in a Vortex
unit. Dedicated buttons for two speed dial num-
bers (programmed into a Vortex telephone inter-
face) make it easy to connect to frequently-
called locations.
An EF-IR11 consists of the handheld device
(shown above) and a small infrared receiver
which connects to the RS-232 port on a Vortex
unit. The receiver translates infrared signals to
RS-232 commands, which are then passed to all
linked Vortex units in the system.
