The remote RS-232 host port Echo Mode is a designation of the control port to which incoming data will be echoed
and can be set to OFF, 1, 2, 3, or 4. For example, if host port echo mode is set to “1”, in addition to every byte being
processed internally by the RN, every byte received is also echoed to serial control port 1. In effect this creates a
pass-through. This concept for the serial control ports allows multiple boxes to be daisy-chained so that you can
control them all. Echo Mode is a bidirectional capability. For the 4 serial control ports, you can turn on either
direction independently.
For example, to pass data to/from a device from a PC-based host application, you would turn on echo mode for the
serial port connected to the device and set the host serial port echo mode for the port connected to the device.
3.2.7 IR Setup Tab
The IR Setup Tab provides controls for setting up the IR command library that will be learned and stored in the
Room Navigator. This IR command library will be accessed for playback by button commands for IR control of
applicable equipment in your specific application. On this tab, individual or global changes can be made to the 61
IR command storage locations available within the Room Navigator. The IR Setup Tab is shown below.

The IR Setup Tab shows the current IR command library in the center window with each location identifying the
location number, the associated device, and the specific IR command name. The device and command name are
assigned by the user as part of the IR learn process.
