The emission characteristics of the transmitter are displayed by a symbol in the image above. The IR beam
emitted is cone shaped and emits from the front part of the transmitter. The emission angle is 30°, so make
sure to point the transmitter directly at the receiver of the controlled device. The distance from the controlled
device should not exceed 1m.

It is possible to log into the web interface of eLAN-IR-003 either as the administrator
(admin) with full access to controls and settings, or as the user (user), for whom only the
panel itself is displayed. The user thus only has the option of controlling the device (the
factory setting of the password for logging in as admin and user is: elkoep).
Both users log into the same dialog field (Login, password), but each uses his/her own
name and password.
Confirm login by clicking on Log in.
Note: after performing RESET on the device eLAN-IR-003 (by a long press of the button on the device
front panel), the IP address and login data are returned to factory settings.

Panel parameters (Change in visualization panel parameters):
Type – choose between background types:
None – if you choose this background, it is only possible to set the background size. The
background color will be white.
Color – as opposed to the background "None", this choice enables color selection. You can set
the background color by writing in the standardized English name for the colors at the HTML or
according to the CSS specification (ex. red = 0xFF0000, green = 0x00FF00 , blue = 0x0000FF ).
Basic colors:
0x00FFFF 0x000000 0x0000FF 0xFF00FF
0x808080 0x008000 0x00FF00 0x800000
0x000080 0x808000 0x800080 0xFF0000
0xC0C0C0 0x008080 0xFFFFFF 0xFFFF00
File – this setting enables an image to be displayed as the background in the formats *.JPG,
*.GIF, *.PGN . The resulting panel size will be based on the size of the imported image.
Note: If you change the IP address, to log into the eLAN-IR-003 you must use the new IP address. If the new IP
address that you entered is not in the same subnetwork, the connection will not work if settings are not
changed in the connected device (PC, iMM Client) to the same subnetwork.
The panel height and width must be entered for the settings None and Color. Parameters are entered in Pixel
units.
The maximum panel resolution is 2000x2000 pixels for background types None, Color and File. Upload
background images with maximum resolution of 2000x2000 pixels!
8.2 Tab Firmware:
This tab is used for easy eLAN-IR-003 firmware updates. New firmware is available at the address
http://www.elkoep.com/download/software/ and can be downloaded free. If the eLAN-IR-003 indicates no
difficulties, it is not necessary to download the newer firmware version as long as the new version has no
additional function that you would like to use.
When updating the eLAN-IR-003, proceed according to the following instructions:
1. From the website http://www.elkoep.com/download/software/ download the latest firmware version.
2. Click on the Browse button and select the file to be downloaded (this file must always include the
extension *.bin ).
3. Click on the button Upload:
Firmware Version – the current firmware version displays (here or on the login page you can check the
success of the update).
Hardware Version – displays the current hardware version. The hardware version of the updated file must
correspond to the existing hardware version.

Installation Manual
Note: do not turn off device or use the Reset button when updating the firmware. eLAN-IR-003 restarts after
completing the update.
Note: After the firmware update, all settings will remain preserved. This means that the set IP, login
data, visualization panel will remain the same as with the SW version prior to the update.
8.3 Tab Builder:
This tab is used to configure the control panel. Configuration contains the recording of the IR code
into the memory of the eLAN-IR-003, recording of icons (downloads
onhttp://www.elkoep.com/download/software/) and their assignment to already recorded IR codes.
The "builder" tab contains three panels:
The left part is used to import icons. By clicking on Add found in the lower part of this
panel, open the dialog window for selecting a file. Here choose the required icon. You can
store image files with the extensions *.JPG, * .GIF, *.PGN. Successfully recorded icons appear
in the left column. You can delete the recorded icon by clicking on the "x" button in the left
lower part of the icon.
The right part is used to manage IR codes. By clicking on Record in the lower part of this
panel, you can learn new IR codes. By clicking on Record, you will send the IR code to eLAN-
IR-003. If the code was received in order, a new row will appear in this window with a new
code number. The assigned code can be renamed by right clicking on the code number. The
code can be deleted by clicking on "x" on the right side of the code.
Central visual part. In this part, you will create the final control panel appearance. The icons
that you have already imported into the left column can easily be dragged to the
visualization desktop by left clicking and holding the icon, then dragging it to the desktop.
If you have all needed icons distributed on the desktop, you can assign the IR code in similar

fashion. After dragging the code to the icon, a window appears where you must choose the
output through which the IR code will be transmitted. You can easily verify a correctly
assigned code, where in the lower right window of each icon, a window is displayed with
the number of the transmission channel. Delete an icon from the visualization panel by left
double clicking on the applicable icon.
Note:
Changes that you make must be stored prior to switching or closing this web tab by clicking on " Save " in
the lower right corner of the web page.
IR codes are updated in real time, i.e. if you record or delete an IR code, these changes are saved even without
clicking on Save.
The name of IR codes may contain up to 16 characters, but do not use special characters in its name (when
using diacritics, the maximum number of characters decreases).
Only uniquely named icons can be added. If an icon that you want to assign has the same name as an already
assigned icon, it will not be assigned.
Record icons that are compressed to the minimum size to save storage space. The icon must always be
smaller than the size of the desktop upon which you are placing it. The size and remainder of memory space
is displayed on the indicator in the left lower part of this tab.
8.4 Tab Panel:
You will perform all visualization of this panel in the tab Builder. This panel is only used for the
actually sending of IR codes (commands). The code is sent by simply left clicking on the applicable icon. You
can verify the sending of the IR code by checking for the flashing Status LED of the given channel. The Status
LED will signal sending of the code only if a functioning IR transmitter is connected to this output.
Note: Controlling the panel is the same as when logging in as a user or administrator. Only in the user panel
in the lower part there appears the button "Log out", which logs out the user.

8.5 Tab log out:
After completing settings or administration, log out of the main page by clicking on "Log out".
9. Troubleshooting:
The product does not communicate (cannot connect to the Web server)
Solution:
◦Check the power supply: Check to see that the product is connected to the power supply, and
the Power LED on the front panel is illuminated.
◦Check the Ethernet network connection. Check to see if the yellow LED operating status is
illuminated, and that the green communication LED is either illuminated or flashing. If
something is wrong, recheck the network connection.
◦If there is no problem with the above-mentioned points and all settings are correctly set,
perform a restart by briefly pressing the RESET button or by disconnecting and reconnecting the
power supply.
The device does not react to sent IR commands
Solution:
◦Check to see if the Status IR LED is flashing. Check to make sure the eLAN-IR-003 is connected to
the power supply, the Ethernet connection is functioning and the IR transmitter is connected to
the output from which you are sending the IR code. The green LED STATUS must be flashing
while the IR code is being sent.
◦If this LED is not flashing, the cause is an incorrectly chosen channel, the cable is not inserted all
the way, or the IR transmitter is defective.
◦If the LED is flashing but the device does not react, check to see that the IR code is correctly
recorded, or rerecord the code.
