Testing Serial Control Commands

Device serial codes can be tested via options in the Status page, before they are added to the protocol

Capturing IR Protocol - "Press key on remote"

The IR learning process requires that the command on the device’s remote is learned
twice (i.e the same remote control command needs to be repeated at Step 2).

A UDM-RX01/02 Receiver, which will issue the relevant IR commands to the device,
must be connected to the relevant port via a Cat5/e/6 cable. Remember the IR
commands are stored within the Receiver.

Serial commands are stored in the UDM-RX02, and care should be taken to keep any
serially programmed units associated with the correct display device type.
