IR REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

Setting the IR Channel

In the event that IR commands from other remote controls interfere with the supplied IR Remote Control unit, changing the IR Remote Control’s IR channel will fix the problem. The IR Remote Control unit has a bank of DIP switches used for setting the IR channel. The DIP switch bank is located underneath the battery cover.

It is important that the IR channel on the Remote Control unit, matches the IR channel set on the 8x1 DPKVM Switcher. For example, if both DIP switches on the IR Remote Control unit are set to IR channel 0 (both DIP switches down), then the 8x1 DPKVM Switcher must also be set to IR channel 0. See page 21 on how to change the IR channel on the 8x1 DPKVM Switcher.
