5. Point the universal remote at the C2N-IRGW-1G or C2N-IRGW-F and
program the remote with an RC5 code (some Sharp codes are
acceptable as well) as outlined in the manufacturer's manual.
NOTE:
Crestron recommends that codes from manufacturers other than the
manufacturer of the device being controlled be used to avoid IR transmission
conflict. For example, if the controlled device is a Sony DVD player, an acceptable
code from any manufacturer (except Sony) should be used to communicate with the
Sony DVD player via the Crestron control system.
6. Press one or more function buttons on the remote and observe the
“Identify Transmitter” window on the PC.
a) If there is no activity while pressing buttons on the remote, the
code chosen was not an acceptable code or the code could not be
decoded. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with another code.
b) If activity is observed with each button press, the code used was an
acceptable code and the Crestron control system can accept
commands from the universal remote.
Map the Universal Remote
Once communication between the Crestron control system and the universal remote
is achieved, it is necessary to understand what commands are transmitted and to
which devices.
Transmitter ID
codes are revealed in the “Identify Transmitter”
window.
Each universal remote has a number of source selection buttons on it (i.e., TV, VCR,
DVD, AUX). Typically, those buttons are used when setting up the remote with an
acceptable code (refer to “Code Verification” on page 11). If an acceptable code is
transmitted during that procedure, Crestron assigns the code with an identifier in the
“Identify Transmitter” window. For example, in the window shown on the next page,
the
Transmitter ID (Hex):
field shows the number 13. Since the identifier falls in the
range of 00 to 1F, the device communicates using an acceptable RC5 code.
