IR REMOTE CONFIGURATION
Setting the IR Remote Control Channel
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls interfere with the
supplied IR Remote Control unit, changing the IR Remote Control’s IR channel
will fi x the problem. The IR Remote Control unit has a bank of DIP switches used
for setting the IR channel.
The DIP switch bank is located underneath the battery cover.

It is important that the IR channel on the Remote Control unit, matches the
IR channel set on the 8x8 DVI KVM Dual Link Matrix. For example, if both
DIP switches on the IR Remote Control unit are set to IR channel 0 (both DIP
switches down), then the 8x8 DVI KVM Dual Link Matrix must also be set to IR
channel 0. See page 28 on how to change the IR channel on the 8x8 DVI KVM
Dual Link Matrix.
