Using the IR Remote
VBrick appliances support features provided through an optional hand held IR (infrared) remote control. The IR remote enables users to access VBrick appliance functions and control functions with simple program commands. Front Panel Edit options are model dependent. For example, a dual encoder will allow editing of two destination IP Addresses and ports. The IR remote control has limited functionality. If enabled, you can use the IR remote control to set the IP address and perform certain other functions. Use the * button for the decimal point and the Left and Right buttons to erase entries. Aim the remote at the sensor on the front panel IR Port of the encoder. To enable or disable the IR remote, go to Configuration: System > General > IR Enable. The remote is enabled by default.

Front Panel Edit
The Front Panel is the LCD display on the front of the unit. Certain keys (see below) on the IR remote control can be used to set configuration parameters. Front Panel Edit can be invoked by pressing Local Edit key on the remote control. The default password is 23646 (which is admin, numerically). Press the Select key to enter. IR remote control of Local Edit
is set in IWS under Configuration: System > General > IR Enable. Entering the operator
password (default = operator) will not allow changing the IP Address, Subnet Mask, or Gateway IP. Entering the administrator password (default = admin) allows changing all of the configurable parameters.
