The Mirage infrared remote control uses the NEC protocol.
For a full listing of the IR remote control codes see page 55.
The Common Interface (CI) Port
If a Conditional Access Module (CAM) is being used to add channels to the Mirage the CAM should be
inserted into the CI Port of Mirage
with the power disconnected
.
Take a note of the Smart Card’s serial number and follow the CAM/Smart Card manufacturer’s
instructions to insert the Smart Card into the CAM and access the service.
The Smart Card should be activated in accordance with its service provider’s instructions before the
screws are tightened in the fixing points and the screw caps are inserted.
See page 29 for additional CI/Smart Card information.
The dotted line indicates the edge of the metalwork when a CAM is correctly inserted.
