Troubleshooting The IR Interface

If you are not receiving command acknowledgements from the IR transmitter,

make sure the IR transmitter is sending commands. One easy way to test this

is to point the IR transmitter at a video camera and see if the IR transmissions

light up on the display screen.
The next step is to make sure the IR receiver is wired properly and terminated

to the IR receive port on the SoundStructure rear-panel as shown in the follow-

ing figure.
By default the SoundStructure device is configured for the HDX IR remote to

have the default device ID of 3 for the SoundStructure to detect the IR key

presses.
Make sure there is an IR receiver virtual channel defined as follows:

vcdef “IR input” control ir_in 1

so that when the IR signal is received, there is a command acknowledgment

from the IR controller received and reported back as:

val ir_key_press “IR Input” 58

The key press values returned correspond to the mapping on the HDX IR

remote controller as specified in the Polycom HDX Integrator’s Reference

Manual.
