- In-Board: Use this set of settings to configure the IR/RS-232 signals for each input port.

• Port 1 \~ Port 16: Configure each input port to use the Local IR/RS-232, Tx IR/RS-232, or Loopback for IR/RS-232 signals.

• Board:

• Broadcast (1-All): Controls all the connected devices simultaneously.

• Manual: Controls specified devices simultaneously. Click Edit to select devices.

Use Loopback for the IR/RS-232 signals to be sent back to local source or local display device connected to the same port on the same I/O board. This allows you to use the IR/RS-232 connection to control devices locally. Loopback prevents the IR/RS-232 signals from being sent across the connection to another I/O board. The Loopback setting is useful when you use a VM8514/VM8584 board to extend displays but use a different board type (not VM7514) for input devices and want to use the IR/RS-232 signals for local control.
- RS-232 Command Line: Use this setting to remotely control a connected device via RS-232 commands.
- Connection: Sets the connection path for the IR/RS-232 signals.

- Use the drop-down menu to select Follow Video Path to have the IR/RS-232 signal use the same connection path as the profile settings.

- Use the drop-down menu to select Broadcast (1-All) to broadcast the IR/RS-232 signal from one port to all ports. Use the drop-down menu that appears to select the port that broadcasts the IR/RS-232 signal.

- Out-Board: Use this set of settings to configure the IR/RS-232 signals for each output port.

- Port 1 \~ Port 16: Configure each output port to use the Local IR/RS-232, Rx IR/RS-232, or Loopback setting for the IR/RS-232 signals.

Note: By default the RS-232 Return Path uses the lowest port number available for a connection. This setting can not be changed.

- Avoid circuit overloads. Before connecting equipment to a circuit, know the power supply’s limit and never exceed it. Always review the electrical specifications of a circuit to ensure that you are not creating a dangerous condition or that one does not already exist. Circuit overloads can cause a fire and destroy equipment.

Rack Mounting

• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.
• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.
• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from the rack.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
• Make sure that all equipment used on the rack – including power strips and other electrical connectors – is properly grounded.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.
• Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the equipment by the manufacturer.
• Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a rack.
