Control Connections
IR Control
The VIA!migo may be controlled by IR or RS-232. IR control is the simplest
connection and will provide all control options but WILL NOT provide feed-
back when used with Olé Touchpads. Feedback, in the case of IR controlled
applications, occurs on a TV or VIA! Touch Panel dispaly.
Use a mono 3.5mm interconnect cable between an IR Out port from an ELAN
Multi-Room Controller or other IR device and the Remote In port on the
VIA!migo as shown in Figure 5.

RS-232 Control
RS-232 serial control provides reliable control from VIA! Touch Panels and
Olé Touchpads. In addition to control capabilities, RS-232 control allows
Olé Touchpads to display feedback (Title, Track, etc.). An ELAN SS1 System
Station is required to display feedback on Olé Touchpads. Use the included
RJ-45 to DB-9 Adaptor when connecting the VIA!migo to the SS1.
Note: Maximum distance between the VIA!migo and an SS1 is 300'.

Connecting VIA!migo to an ELAN Multi-Room
Controller
Remotely Located Source
VIA!migo connects to ELAN’s Multi-Room Controllers as a Source much like
a DVD player, VCR, or cable box. Figure 8 shows the VIA!migo hooked up
to an ELAN System12 using Cat-5 to connect an LSWP (Local Source Wall
Plate Kit to pass Audio, Video and IR between the VIA!migo and the S12
chassis using Cat-5.
Note: The LSWP is specific to S12 Systems and will not work with
other Multi-Room Controllers
