RMT-8IR REMOTE AND 8X1 SWITCHER CONFIGURATION
How to Resolve IR Code Confl icts
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls confl ict with the
supplied RMT-8IR remote control, changing the remote control channel will
alleviate this issue. The RMT-8IR remote control and the 8x1 DVI Switcher both
have banks of DIP (Dual Inline Package) Switches for confi guring the remote
channel that the units use to communicate. These settings must exactly match
each other for proper operation.
The DIP Switch bank on the RMT-8IR is located underneath the battery cover.
DIP Switch banks for the 8x1 DVI Switcher are located on the underside of the
unit beneath a black piece of metallic tape. One DIP switch bank (4-switch) is for
the adjustment of remote control frequencies and switch behavior. The other DIP
switch (8-switch) is reserved for Gefen use only. DIP Switches 1 and 2 on the
RMT-8IR directly correspond to DIP Switches 1 and 2 on the 8x1 DVI Switcher.
Only switches 1 and 2 (of 4 in that bank) are used for IR Code settings.
