30 RF Settings Overview
The NX-RM610 is factory set to ID#0. Although this will work with
any base station set to ID#0, it does not allow any emitter or blaster
configuration. Before changing any emitter or blaster settings, you
must reset the ID# to an address other than 0.
By setting the RF addresses for each device you can operate
identical devices (like a stack of satellite receivers, cable boxes, or
an array of identical TV sets). You do this by assigning a valid ID#,
then selecting a particular IR Emitter Output via EMITT settings.
To ensure that the identical components are not affected by line of
sight commands, you set the IR/RF for the device to RF Only.
Many components with on-screen GUI’s (guides, menus etc.) are
extremely sensitive to IR overload/saturation. The best way of
positioning emitters for these devices is to set the IR/RF setting to
RF only and to set the EMITTER to a specific line output, not the
default setting of ALL.
Here are the factory default RF settings of the NX-RM610:
IR/RF (Type of Signal) – All devices are factory set to send both
an IR line of sight signal and an omnidirectional RF signal.
ID# (Base Station Address) – All devices are factory set with ID #0.
EMITT (IR Emitter Line Output) – All devices are factory set to
output IR commands through ALL IR Emitter Line Outputs.
BLAST (Base Station Front Panel Blaster) – The blaster is factory
set to be on.
Testing for Interference - When ID#0 is set on the bottom of the
base station, the STATUS LED will flicker if interference is present.
Once the base station is moved to a location where the LED does
not flicker, the ID# can be changed to one of the valid addresses
(1-9 or A-F).
