About Device configuration
The Device page is for setting up and controlling 4 Back End devices. A Back end device could be a
DVD player, VCR or Cable/Satellite Receiver that is modulated onto the RF feed and is connected to the
rear of the TVM-1600 for distribution.
The TVM-1600 has the ability to learn the IR codes for those devices and then allow a user to control
them from the TVM system. Endeleo refers to this feature as Pass-Through device control. For more
information regarding Back end IR device control refer to the Advanced Administration section of this
document.
Devices to be accessed in pass through mode are configured in the Devices option.
Naming a Device
Four remote devices can be controlled in pass through mode.
To name a device:
1. Ensure the Devices option has been selected and the Devices main page is displayed (FIG. 18).
Click on the Devices option to the left of the screen (FIG. 18).

Configuring a Channel For a Device
The channel drop down box selects the channel (device) the user is switched to when pass through mode
is selected from the remote control.
For example, if your DVD player is modulated on Ch 17 (Frequency of 139.25 MHz), then you must
choose Ch 17 in this box for pass-through device control to work.

Devices option to the left of the screen.
2. Click the downward arrow in the Channel field to reveal the list of channels which can be
