7.

Repeat for other extensions:

C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.003 <enter>

C:\RX\ copy isony.001 isony.004 <enter>

8.

Use the put command to send to the RX units on the other hub ports that need the IR/Serial file.

C:\RX\ TFTP –i 192.168.0.96 put isony.002 <enter>

Once an IR protocol has been learned for a specific port, it can simply be copied across to other
ports using the TFTP application and the network port. To copy an IR protocol to another port:

9.

Create a directory or folder on the PC to store the protocol file. For example, create
C:\UDM\Protocol

10.

You must GET the IR file from the Receiver via the hub. IR files all start with an I and use a file
extension to indicate number. These could therefore take the form isonymode1.001, IRtable.001 etc.

11.

At the command prompt use the following command:

TFTP –I [IP address of hub] GET irtable.hub

Backing up the Hub Configuration File

1.

Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.

2.

Start a command session on the PC. Change to the directory where the Hub Protocol file is to be
stored on the PC:

e.g. cd\udm and cd\protocol.

3.

Type in the following command at the prompt, observing the parameters below:

TFTP -i [IP address] get ixxxxx.hub or TFTP -i [IP address] get sxxxxx.hub

Where ixxxxxx.hub is the name of the hub configuration file.

The file name must start with an i or an s.

If the name of the Hub Protocol file is not known typing in i or s followed by any logical characters
will find the file, as there is only one protocol file in the UDM-0404.

A file name starting with either i or s will retrieve that file. Use a name that will identify the protocol
file for the project. For example: imyprotocol.hub is an acceptable name.

4.

When complete, close the command window.

Restoring the Hub Configuration File

1.

Run your TFTP client. If using the Windows client, move to step 2.

2.

Start a command session on the PC. Change to the directory where the Hub Configuration file is to
be stored on the PC:

e.g. cd\udm and cd\protocol.

3.

Type in the following command at the prompt, observing the parameters below:

TFTP -i [IP address] put ixxxxx.hub

-or-

TFTP -i [IP address] put sxxxxx.hub

Where ixxxxxx.hub is the name of the hub protocol file.

All hub protocol file names start with an i or s.

4.

When complete, close the command window.

5.

When the protocol file is restored, it will usually automatically associate correctly with the
configuration file when it is restored. However, it is wise to check each UDM port using the Web
interface to verify the correct protocol is assigned.

Entering the extension ".hub" will download the hub configuration file, which will
capture such data as the input configuration, setup information, input and port
names, and the protocol files. The same file is used for serial (s) or IR (i) protocols.
