RS-232 Port
The DB-9 RS-232 port of the SF-16M can be connected to virtually any third party RS-232 controller (
Figure 10
). Allows
2-way communications for control and feedback. Download the serial command set from our website.
Ethernet Port
The SF-16M Ethernet port connects to any standard Ethernet router/switch (
Figure 11)
. By default DHCP is enabled on
the SF-16M. SDDP is enabled for seamless integration with Control4 systems. It is often convenient to turn DHCP on to
connect automatically to a DHCP network for initial setup. Once the SF-16M is installed, use a static IP address and turn
DHCP off. Download the Ethernet command set from the SF-16M product page on our website.
IR Port
The 3.5mm “Main IR In” connects to any third party IR controller using a mono 3.5mm cable
(
Figure 12)
. A comprehensive list of available IR commands for the SF-16M is available in
spreadsheet format. Download the hexcode IR command set from the SF-16M product page on
our website.
Third Party Control
If you are using a third party controller, you may use the worksheet on page 11, but you do not
need to set up the Zones (
see page 10
). Connect sources and speakers (
see page 4
) and set
up advanced features as needed (
see page 8
). Three methods of system control are possible,
listed here in recommended order:
1 Third party serial controller
DB-9 RS-232 port
Most reliable, all functions available, customized
2 Third party IP controller
RJ-45 Ethernet port
Very reliable, all functions available, customized
3 Third party IR controller
3.5mm IR port
Most functions available, customized
