Configuring an input button

Input buttons on the MLC 104 include the following, grouped together on the MLC front panel: VCR, DVD, PC, and a blank button for custom use.

1.

Select the Front Panel tab.

2.

4.

In the Button Operations area, select the Driver tab

 

and expand the tree under the Epson PowerLite 7700p

Configuring the On and Off buttons

Grouped within the Display section of the MLC 104 IP Plus front panel, the On/Off buttons can be used to power a projector on or off.

5. To configure the Off button, repeat steps 1 through 4, selecting Off.

Step 7: Configure the Control Modules Using the Auto Fill Feature

Control modules are optional hardware keypads that can be used to trigger IR and serial control commands. Once added to the system, each button can have a function associated with it.

The Auto Fill feature automatically associates the correct IR commands with control module buttons for the selected IR driver. For example, the Play command is automatically assigned to the Play button of the control module keypad.

1. From the left pane IP Link tab, select Address 1 beneath the folder called "Control Modules".

NGlobal Configurator automatically recognizes any control module currently connected to the controller. The IRCM-DV+ appears at Address 1 and 2 or Address 3 and 4. If Address x IRCM-DV+ [DVD] is already shown in the MLC 104 IP Plus tree view, skip steps 2 and 3 below, and proceed to step 4.

Select IRCM-DV+in the Available Control Module section.

3.

the message box that appears. This adds the IRCM-DV+
