IR/RS232 Channel
The
IR/RS232 Channel
page is available for VM7514 and VM8514 boards
only. The options allow you to set ports to use
Local IR/RS232
which will
direct the board to use the local IR and RS232 port signals, or
HDBaseT IR/
RS232
which will direct the board to use the HDBaseT port for the IR and
RS232 signals for control.
Use
Loopback
for the IR/RS232 signals to be sent back to local source or local
display device connected to the same port on the same I/O board. This allows
you to use the IR/RS232 connection to control devices locally. Loopback
prevents the IR/RS232 signals from being sent across the connection to another
I/O board. The Loopback setting is good when you use a VM8514 board to
extend displays but use a different board type (not VM7514) for input devices
and want to use the IR/RS232 signals for local control.
In-Board
