UDM-1604 Endeleo Multi-Format Distribution Hub
Updating the UDM Receiver With the Serial Protocol
1. Ensure the Serial Protocol and commands have been created previously.
2. Click on the Status page.
3. Click on the port number hyperlink which the serial device is attached to. (It is the Endeleo RX
unit which will issue the serial command over the serial cable connected between the RX unit and
the device).
4. Once the port properties become visible click on the arrow to the right of the Protocol field.
5. Select the Serial protocol which this RX unit will download. This may take a few minutes
depending on how many commands are within the protocol.
6. A message will appear saying “Loading Protocol – Please wait” once this has disappeared the
Serial protocol has been downloaded to the RX device. Commands can now be sent from the Hub
Web pages to the serial device.
Creating and Learning an IR Protocol
Infrared (IR) protocols can be learned by the UDM Hub by using the device’s remote control to
programme its commands into the UDM Hub. This is performed by using the Protocols section of the
web pages.
The UDM Hub can learn between 8 and 25 IR commands depending on the actual command length and
protocol used.
IR Learning with a Device’s Remote Control
1.
Click on the Protocols option.
2. Click on the downward arrow beside the IR protocol field. Click on New.
It is presumed that the serial device connected to the Endeleo RX has the
appropriate serial settings as described and the correct serial cable/pinouts
configured in order to function correctly with the Endeleo RX unit.
A UDM-RX01/02 Receiver, which will issue the relevant serial commands to the
device, must be connected to the relevant port via a Cat5/e/6 cable. Remember the
serial commands are stored within the Receiver.
A new table for this device’s Serial control is what is actually being created. When the
administrator decides to create further commands particular to this serial device they
will be stored within this table e.g power off, power on. If new commands are to be
created in future ensure the correct Serial Protocol has been selected before defining
new commands to ensure commands are stored in the correct table. There is one
protocol/table per UDM Receiver.
The device’s own remote control can still be used locally at the device to control the
device.
