Protocols and IR Learning
Overview
Protocols for serial and IR devices used in the system can be created from the Protocols option. These
protocols will allow the UDM-0102 to control serial and IR devices connected via the Hub.
For serial devices the following information is key to the successful function of the serial device;
Serial cable and pinouts;
Serial settings for correct communication with the device and
Manufacturer’s command strings equivalent to the command to be executed from the
UDM-0102.
For IR devices the device’s IR controls (remote control key presses) will have to be learned by the UDM-
0102.
