Introduction

The MRX-1 Network Base Station receives IR and Serial commands
from any URC Network Controls (like the KP-4000, MX-6000 or MX-
5000) over the network.  Each MRX-1 has a unique MAC Address,
which allows correct routing to multiple MRX-1 units throughout the
home.

In installations with URC RF Lighting, the optional RFTX-1 transmitter
will transmit RF commands from all URC Network Control’s. This
enables installations with multiple MRX-1’s and RFTX-1’s to become
whole house lighting control systems capable of multiple room paths
and scenes.

In addition, the MRX-1 offers traditional IR only control from URC
Narrow Band RF Controls via an optional RFX-250. 

3. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to

the Infrared sensors on the front
panels of your client’s compo-
nents. The Flashers relay com-
mands to components.  The flash-
ers plug in to the MRX-1 rear
flasher line outputs via their 10
foot cables. The MRX-1 can also
connect to components with rear
panel IR Inputs via its adjustable
IR Line Outputs.

2. The MRX-1 receives commands and

controls the components via IR or
Serial. 

1. The KP-4000 communicates over the

LAN (Local Area Network) to IP con-
trolled components and the URC MRX-
1 Network Base Station.
