3.

 

Under the 

Control with

 header, each device has a drop-down box with two options.  Select the 

appropriate option for each controlled device in your system. Choose 

Harmony 890

 (the default 

setting) for devices you wish to control by IR from the remote, and 

Wireless Extender

 for devices 

you wish to control by RF using the Extender (with or without the IR emitters). 

4.

 

By default, the Wireless Extender fires all IR commands simultaneously from all four IR emitter 
Ports (these are numbered A, B, C and D on the Extender) and from its IR Blaster.  In most 

cases, this default setting works well. In special cases, you may require the Wireless Extender to 
control multiple identical devices.  To do this, you will need to assign a specific Port to one or 

more devices, as described below.  If you are not controlling multiple identical devices, skip to 
Step 5.
 

 

After selecting the control method for each device in Step 3, check the box 

, and click the 

 button. This screen loads: 

 

 

Under the Port header, each device has a drop-down box with six options.  Select the 

appropriate option for each device to be controlled by the Wireless Extender. Choose 

All 

(default)

 for sending IR signals to all ports; 

IR Blaster

 to only send signals from the Wireless 

Extender by line-of-sight; or 

A

B

C

 or 

D

 to assign a specific port.  

 

When you are finished assigning ports to your devices, clicking the 

 button will save 

your port settings and device associations, and take you back to the Devices screen. Skip to 
Step 6. 

5.

 

When finished associating devices, click the 

 button to save your settings and take you 

back to the Devices screen. 

6.

 

Click the 

 button and follow the instructions to update your Wireless Extender and 

Harmony 890 remote.
