ADVANCED REMOTE CONTROL
11. Advanced Remote
Control
IR Call Back and Third Party Control systems
Please note: Due to the differing method of control based on
location, if you are using a third party control system, learning the
control from the IR is NOT recommended as control will be limited
to scrolling up/down between inputs. For discrete source selection
you will need to import discrete hex codes for control systems.
These can be obtained through the Wyrestorm website, by
contacting our technical support or you can input them manually.
For reference: The IR is NEC and possesses a carrier wave of
38KHz with a system code of 0x00

12. Advanced Operation
Controlling the MX0606/0808-PP using RS232 and
COMCTL PC Software
Typically, unless alternative methods of controlling the matrix are
chosen or problems with device communication through the matrix
encountered, basic operation is all that is required to operate
your MX0606/0808-PP. However, the following information
on advanced operation will detail how the matrix system can be
configured and for advanced control and settings can be altered
or data manually input should such problems arise, as well as
configuring the system for third party control.
RS232 Remote Control
Control of the matrix is possible through RS232 using third party
control systems or the dedicated Wyrestorm COM CTL software
included with your purchase (also downloadable from www.
wyrestorm.com).
RS232 Setting
Should third party control be required, please see below for control
system configuration and hex code input. The RS232 connection
on the matrix is female QB9 Users can use a USB to RS232
cable or a direct male to female serial cable.

After fully connecting all inputs and outputs to the matrix and
installing the software, on opening the program the control
window will display information from the matrix, such as messages
received from the switch such as input/output details, firmware
version and control commands/HEX codes that allow the system
to be controlled remotely, as well as buttons used to navigate the
screen.

The same basic switching functions can also be accessed via the
remote control.
Operation of the handset is the same regardless of location –
locally (source/IR emitter) or remotely (display/IR receiver).
Simply toggle through the INPUT sources connected to the
matrix by pressing the left/right arrow buttons in each numbered
OUTPUT section on the handset.
previous / next buttons
When using the remote control locally, i.e. pointed directly at the
matrix, the previous / next buttons are used to scroll between the
input sources connected to the matrix for each individual output
display. So for example, using the previous / next buttons for 1
allows you to select the source to be set to display 1 manu-ally.
See below:
Matrix System Code Switch
The MX0606/0808-PP features an intuitive IR ‘Call Back’ system
of control through which the matrix is able to distinguish where the
remote handset is being used to change INPUTS and OUTPUTS
and is able to switch accordingly depending on the user’s location.
As such, the function of the handset buttons and operation differs
depending on where the handset is being used.
In the event that two MX0606/0808-PP units are used side
by side in the rack, the matrix is capable of switching between
two distinct IR System Codes to allow control of either matrix
individually via the hand-set.

System Code Switch
The default system setting is 0x00 to control one matrix, but
pressing the SYSTEM CODE button on the handset THREE
TIMES rapidly activates the alternative Matrix SYSTEM CODE
0x4e, allowing independent control of a second unit. Pressing the
button three times again to reverts back to default 0x00 setting.
NOTE
Changing the System Code is only necessary if you
are using two identical units within close range of the IR
signal. If using in different parts of the same room it is likely
that you will not need to change the setting.
HINT
If your remote control is not working, before changing the
battery, try changing the System Code on the handset in case it
has accidentally been switched to an alternative matrix control
mode.
Remote Control at the Display End (Remote IR)
When controlling the matrix remotely from the display side, the
matrix automatically detects which particular output location
the user is at and only allows the selection of sources 1-8 for
that particular location using the button - the right hand
button will be deactivated.
For example, if you are in the Master Bedroom with a display
connected to output 3 of the matrix, the output zone is
automatically detected so options 1-8 will correspond to sources
1-8 on the matrix. Press buttons 1-8 to scroll through your
options as you would channels on a regular TV remote.

Note: In IR Call Back
mode the right hand

ii) Matrix Control at the Display Device Location
(Remote IR Call-Back)
Control of the matrix from the display location side using
the matrix remote sends IR signals to the IR receiver
connected to the HDBaseT display receiver, with the IR
eye placed on or near the display device with clear line of
sight to the handset controlling.
In this case, the matrix automatically detects which
particular output location the user is in and only allows
the selection of sources 1-8 for that location using the
previous buttons.
For example, if the user is in the master bedroom with
their display connected to the matrix via an HDBaseT
receiver, scrolling 1-8 on the handset enables access
to their desired input source.
NOTE Ensure IR Call-Back function is ON when
remotely controlling the matrix from the display
device location. To activate IR Call-Back, click
SETTING in Set Panel area of the COM control
software and select ON for IR Back. (see COM
control section of manual)
iii) Advanced Remote Control
Please note: Due to the different available control
methods based on location, if using a third party
control system, learning the control from the IR is not
recommended as control will be limited to scrolling up/
down between inputs.
For reference: the IR is NEC and possesses a carrier
wave of 38 KHz with a system code of 0x00.
The following two types of system IR codes can be
learned using other IR remotes to control the matrix.
NOTE Refer to IR Set for details how to learn control
from the IR using the COM Control software.
