RMT-2IR REMOTE CONTROL DESCRIPTION 1 2 1 Pressing this button will select Input 1 as the source. All devices connected to the input ports labeled 1 will be selected and output. 2 Pressing this button will select Input 2 as the source. All devices connected to the input ports labeled 2 will be selected and output.
RMT-2IR REMOTE INSTALLATION To use the RMT-2IR remote, remove the battery cover on the back of the remote to reveal the battery compartment. Insert the included battery into the open battery slot. The positive (+) side should be facing up. Ensure that both DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches are in the OFF position. Replace the battery cover. The remote ships with 2 batteries. One battery is needed for operation and the other battery is complimentary.
INFRARED (IR) CODE CHANNEL CONFIGURATION How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the supplied RMT-2IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue. The RMT-2IR remote control and the 2x2 DPKVM Switch both have banks of DIP (Dual Inline Package) switches for configuring the remote channel that both units use to communicate. These settings must exactly match each other for proper operation.
RS-232 SERIAL CONTROL INTERFACE What features are available via the RS-232 serial communications port? The 2x2 DPKVM Switch can accept commands through the RS-232 serial communications port located on the rear panel. The current RS-232 control features are: • Switching of inputs. How do I use these features? These features were initially intended for utilization by custom installers in automated setups. However, these features can be tested by using any Windows PC with the Hyperterminal program.
ADDITIONAL SWITCHING OPTIONS The underside of the 2x2 DPKVM Switch features a DIP switch bank that is used to configure additional features. DIP switch 3 is used to control the function of Contact Closure-type remote controls on the rear panel.
