Configuring the MLC 52 Using IR
The MLC 52 can be programmed/configured via IR by the following methods:
•
IR data transfer from an MLC 52 that has been configured
•
IR learning from your projector’s remote control
Configuring using IR data transfer
You can configure your MLC 52 by transferring button configuration data to it from
another configured MLC 52 via the two IR LEDs on the back panels of the MLCs.
With this method, you replicate (clone) the other MLC’s configuration on your own
unit without the use of software or cables.
The following transfers are allowed:
•
From an RS model to another RS model
•
From an IR model to another IR model
•
From an IR model to an RS model
To transmit configuration data via IR, both the transferring and the receiving MLCs
must be free of the wall, electrical box, or furniture, and both must be powered on.
The MLC that is already configured can be powered by an external power supply,
or it can share a power supply with the unit that will be configured.
All four MLC 52 models use the same IR data transfer
procedure.
1
.
On the MLC from which the configuration will be transferred
(the donor unit), set all configuration switches to Off (down).
2
.
On the MLC that will receive the data, set switch #2 to On (up)
and all the other switches to Off (down).
3
.
Position the two units so that the IR Transmit and Receive LEDs of both MLCs
are facing each other, and no more than 6 inches apart. (See the illustration on
the next page.)
