This can be arbitrarily done on a direct connection, but a good choice for the settings would be IP address of 192.168.0.1,
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and an empty default gateway. Once these values have been set, use serial commands
to set the network settings of the SF-16M in a similar manner, but use a different IP address than that of the computer (for
example, 192.168.0.2).
Static Addressing on a Network
The SF-16M must be set to the same settings as the PC except for the IP address, which must be one available on the
network. To determine this in Windows, use the DOS prompt (Start->Run->cmd) commands ipconfig and ping. Ipconfig
will list the PC’s settings, and ping will allow you to test addresses to make sure that nothing else on the network has that
address. Enlist the help of a network administrator if you are unfamiliar with setting up a network connection.
Once a connection is established, a telnet program such as Hyper Terminal, Teraterm, PuTTY etc, must be used to
connect to the device. Enter the IP address of the SF-16M and leave the default port (23) to connect. Once connected,
standard serial commands can be issued in an identical manner to serial control.
Using an IR Control System
The SF-16M uses a three wire IR circuit. It is imperative that the correct polarity be maintained when connecting third
party IR equipment. The 3.5MM pinout is shown in the illustration below. Connect the IR signal from your IR controller
directly to the main IR input port on the rear panel. Alternatively, adhere an IR emitter from your infrared system onto the
SF-16M front panel receiver.
If the SF-16M IR codes are available from your remote control company, download and/or activate those files. A CCF file
containing the latest codes can be downloaded from our website on the SF-16M product page.
Tips for Using Infrared Control
• If you are using standard hand-held IR remote controls, ensure correct
operation by avoiding sources of light pollution such as Plasma and
LCD TVs, direct sunlight, fluorescent light, etc. Experiment with the
physical placement of the IR receiver to avoid interference.
• If a source of interference cannot be eliminated or avoided, use IR
receivers that block that type of interference, such as Plasma-proof or
LCD-proof receivers.
