modules (IRCMs, ACMs, RCMs, CMs), one Extron IR signal

 

repeater (IRL 20 or IR Link), and/or two Extron SCP 104 control

 

pads to this port to allow remote control of the MLC 104 IP Plus

 

controller or other items. A maximum of seven devices can be

 

connected to this port.

Display control RS-232 /IR port — This port has dedicated

 

bidirectional RS-232 and infrared signal output.

 

From this port, commands sent from a driver or user-defined

 

command strings (entered via the Global Configurator) can be

 

sent to the display device.

 

For bidirectional RS-232 communication, the transmit, ground,

 

and receive pins must be wired at both the controller and the

 

projector connectors, as shown below.

IR signal repeater can receive IR signals from an optional IR 402 remote control and send them to the controller. Once the MLC is set up, control modules can be used to control VCRs, DVD players, tape decks, a projector lift, or screen control. For device control, refer to the appropriate device’s user’s manual.

The control modules, IR signal repeaters, and SCPs can be daisy chained, as shown on the following page. Extron Comm-Link (CTL and CTLP) cable is recommended for these connections.

NWhen an SCP 104 is connected to an MLC 104 IP Plus, the SCP's DIP switch #4 must be in the ON (up) position.
