RMT-8IR REMOTE AND 8X1 KVM SWITCHER CONFIGURATION

How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts

In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the

supplied RMT-8IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this

issue. The RMT-8IR remote control and the 8x1 DVI KVM DL Switcher 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-8IR is located underneath the battery

cover. DIP Switch banks for the 8x1 DVI KVM DL Switcher are located on the

underside of the unit beneath a black piece of metallic tape. One DIP switch

bank (4-switch) is for the adjustment of remote control frequencies and switch

behavior. The other DIP switch (8-switch) is reserved for DL Only mode (page

11). Switches 1 and 2 on the RMT-8IR directly correspond to DIP Switches 1 and

2 on the 8x1 DVI KVM DL Switcher. Only switches 1 and 2 (of 4 in that bank) are

used for IR Code settings.
