IR Plus Assistive Listening System
Settings Page
The Settings page is used to adjust settings for Williams Sound devices attached to the IR M1 as well as settings for the IR M1 itself.
Modulator Information
Modulator information is adjusted on the Settings page. These are settings specific to the IR M1. The IR M1 can be named by
editing the Description field. The IR band used for broadcasting is set here. The IR Mute timeout is how long the device waits
during silence to shut off the IR transmission and can be adjusted.
Device Settings
A list of devices will be available.
For each connected device, several settings can be adjusted. The name of the device can be set. Channel A and B can be active
or deactivated. The power level used for the IR transmission can be set to full power, or medium power (about half of the full
power level). LED lights can be enabled or disabled, meaning the lights will stay dark when operating. The connected device can
be completely disabled or enabled; a disabled device will be treated similarly to as if it was disconnected by the IR + system.
Connected, Disabled and Disconnected Devices and Settings Transfer
The settings screen will display the settings stored for the device usually connected to that port, even if it is not currently
physically connected via a CAT5e cable. These default settings are stored by the IR M1 and are saved for an individual Output to
Emitter port.
If a device is not currently connected to that port, and a different device of the same type is connected (for example, an IR E4
is replaced with a different IR E4), the stored settings will transfer automatically to that new devices. Connecting a device of a
different type will not transfer the settings.
Changes to the settings can only be made when a device is connected and enabled. Disabled device's settings and currently
disconnected device's settings cannot be edited. A disabled device can be re-enabled from the web interface if it is connected to
the IR M1.
Disabled devices are not being provided power by the modulator. This can be useful if it is difficult to physically unplug the device.
If a connected device is in an error state, it will be treated as if it is disabled until the error is corrected.
Devices cannot be enabled if their firmware is out-of-date. See "Administration Page" on page 21 for more information on
Firmware Updates.
