RF Settings Overview

The Omega is factory set to ID#0. Although this will work with any base station set to ID#0, it does not allow any emitter or blaster configuration. Before changing any emitter or blaster settings, you must reset the ID# to an address other than 0.

By setting the RF addresses for each device you can operate identical devices (like a stack of satellite receivers, cable boxes, or an array of iden- tical TV sets). You do this by assigning a valid ID#, then selecting a partic- ular IR Emitter Output via EMITT settings. To ensure that the identical com- ponents are not affected by line of sight commands, you set the IR/RF for the device to RF Only.

Many components with on-screen GUI’s (guides, menus etc.) are extreme- ly sensitive to IR overload/saturation. The best way of positioning emitters for these devices is to set the IR/RF setting to RF only and to set the EMITT to a specific line output, not the default setting of ALL.

Here are the factory default RF settings of the Omega:

IR/RF (Type of Signal) - All devices are factory set to send both an IR line of sight signal and an omnidirectional RF signal.

ID# (Base Station Address) - All devices are factory set with ID #0.

EMITT (IR Emitter Line Output) - All devices are factory set to output IR com- mands through ALL IR Emitter Line Outputs.

BLAST (Base Station Front Panel Blaster) - The blaster is factory set to be on.

Testing for Interference - When ID#0 is set on the bottom of the base station, the STATUS LED will flicker if interference is present. Once the base station is moved to a location where the LED does not flicker, the ID# can be changed to one of the valid addresses (1-9 or A-F).
