INFRARED (IR) CODE CHANNEL CONFIGURATION

How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts

In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the supplied RMT-2IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue. The RMT-2IR remote control and the 2x1 DisplayPort KVM 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-2IR is located underneath the battery cover. DIP switch banks for the 2x1 DisplayPort KVM are located on the underside of the unit beneath a black piece of metallic tape. Switches 1 and 2 on the RMT-2IR directly correspond to DIP Switches 1 and 2 on the 2x1 DisplayPort KVM. Only switches 1 and 2 (of 4 in that bank) are used for IR Code settings.
