Universal Remotes
Any universal remote transmitting RC5 code (and some Sharp codes) can
communicate with the CNXRMC and allow the user to select and activate any
function in the control system. An RC5 code is 14 bits long. Each code includes a
5-bit address (or system) and a 6-bit command. Sharp uses a different IR protocol,
but some of their codes are acceptable.
NOTE:
The Philips Pronto contains built-in RC5 commands for out-of-the-box use.
Setting up a Philips Pronto is easy!
If using the Philips Pronto, select RC5 code communication. For the Philips Pronto,
the RC5 system number is equivalent to Crestron's
Transmitter ID
code, which is a
unique identifier assigned to each transmitter. Likewise, RC5 command number is
equivalent to Crestron's
Button ID
, which is synonymous with the join number used
in SIMPL Windows. There is no need to perform the two multi-step procedures in
the subsequent sections.
NOTE:
Typically, codes used by Magnavox, Marantz, and Philips audio/video
equipment utilize RC5 codes for transmission. Some codes used by Sharp
Electronics Corporation are also usable.
Universal remotes require two
multi-step procedures for setup.
Some devices from Magnavox, Marantz, and Philips are designed to understand
certain kinds of infrared signals sent by remote controls, specifically, signals
belonging to the RC5 code set. Two procedures are required to setup a universal
remote. The first procedure verifies that the universal remote chosen does transmit
an identifiable code and therefore can communicate with the CNXRMC. The second
procedure maps the buttons on the universal remote so that they can be used in the
SIMPL Windows program.
Code Verification
Refer to the note on page 21 for a
definition of Viewport.
Each universal remote comes with its own manual, which lists codes by device and
manufacturer. The purpose of this procedure is to select and program a code into the
universal remote so that it can communicate with the CNXRMC. All that is required
to complete this procedure is the CNXRMC, a Crestron CNXRMIRD, a PC running
the Crestron Viewport, a Crestron control system connected to the PC, and any
universal remote (complete with batteries and manufacturer's manual). The control
system should be running a valid SIMPL Windows program that includes the
CNXRMC at the proper Net ID so that the CNXRMC can be polled, and a
CNXRMIRD. (For details on including the CNXRMIRD in the program, refer to
“Slot 2: IR Receiver” on page 18.)
1. Attach the CNXRMIRD to the CNXRMC (IR IN port).
2. Using Cresnet cable, attach the Crestron control system to the
CNXMRC (NET port). Refer to "Network Wiring" on page 6 for
details.
3. Open the Crestron Viewport.
Either launch the stand-alone version of Viewport, or start SIMPL
Windows and from the menu bar, select
Tools | Viewport.
4. From the Viewport menu, select
Diagnostic | Identify Transmitter
ID
. The software checks the baud rate and then opens the "Transmitter
Identification" window, as shown after this step.
