3.7. Remote Control of Matrix Switch
The Matrix Switch can be controlled by a remote (Figure 11). The remote is divided
into eight sections (1 through 8), each of which controls the corresponding display.
The ◄ and ► buttons associated with each section allow the user to control which
input (1 through 4) is fed to a given display.
The System Code Switch at the bottom of the remote allows the user to change the
system code. Pressing it three times in one second changes the system code from 0x00
to 0x4E, or from 0x4E to 0x00.
Figure 11: Remote
To use the remote, the user must physically aim it at the front panel of the Matrix
Switch, which contains an IR sensor to receive line-of-sight signals from the remote.
An optional IR extender cable (500999) can be connected to the IR Ext port on the rear
panel of the Matrix Switch. The free end of the IR extender cable contains an IR
sensor that can be placed up to 117 centimeters (46 inches) from the Matrix Switch,
offering greater flexibility in using the remote.
The remote can also control the Matrix Switch at display locations via MuxLab
receivers. To do this, the user aims the remote at the receiver’s IR sensor and sends
command signals to the Matrix Switch. The receiver then transmits these signals to the
Matrix Switch via the UTP/STP cables connecting the receiver to the Matrix Switch.
A source can also be selected directly by pressing the down arrow located at position
1, 2, 3, or 4.
