Remote Control of Matrix Switch
The Matrix Switch can be controlled by a remote (Figure 9). The remote is divided
into 4 sections, with each section controlling a particular display. For any given
display, the user can choose which source to send to that display, either directly by
clicking on buttons 1, 2, 3, or 4, or indirectly by pressing on the
◄
or
►
buttons to
cycle through the sources.
Figure 9: Remote
To use the remote, the user must physically aim it at the front panel of the Matrix
Switch, which contains an IR sensor to receive line-of-sight signals from the remote.
An optional IR extender cable (500999, not included) can be connected to the
IR Ext
port on the rear panel of the Matrix Switch. The free end of the IR extender cable
contains an IR sensor that can be placed up to 117 centimeters (46 inches) from the
Matrix Switch, offering greater flexibility in using the remote.
The remote can also control the Matrix Switch at display locations via MuxLab
receivers. To do this, the user aims the remote at the receiver’s IR sensor and sends
command signals to the Matrix Switch. The receiver then transmits these signals to the
Matrix Switch via the UTP/STP cables connecting the receiver to the Matrix Switch.
To initiate this function, the user must simultaneously press square pushbuttons
2 and 4 on the front panel of the Matrix Switch for approximately 3 seconds.
At
that point, all the Source LEDs will flash once to indicate that the remote can now be
used at display locations. To disable this function, the user must simultaneously press
the same pushbuttons for approximately 3 seconds. All the Source LEDs will flash
twice to indicate that the remote cannot be used at display locations.
