RMT-8IR REMOTE AND 8X1 SWITCHER CONFIGURATION

How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts

In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the supplied RMT-8IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue. The RMT-8IR remote control and the 8x1 DVI DL/SL Switcher 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.

The DIP Switch bank on the RMT-8IR is located underneath the battery cover. DIP Switch banks for the 8x1 DVI DL/SL 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 DL/SL Switcher. Only switches 1 and 2 (of 4 in that bank) are used for IR Code settings.
