IR learning sensor
In most cases, Extron has already produced a driver file for controlling the
projector, display, or source device you plan to use. If a device driver file is not
available, you can create your own using Extron IR Learner software, the projector
or display’s remote control, and the IPL’s IR learning receiver sensor, shown above.
This receiver accepts infrared signals of from 30 kHz to 1 MHz. The IR remote
control must be pointed directly at the receiver for best results. The front panel
diagram (above) indicates the best distances and angles at which to hold the remote
control.
Reset features
Reset button and LED — Pressing this recessed button causes various IP functions
and Ethernet connection settings to be reset to the factory defaults. The green
LED flashes depending on the selected reset mode. See “Resetting the Unit” on
page 2-10 for details.
