IR Remote Control Operations
The device may also be controlled with the included IR remote control, shown in Figure 1-5.
Batteries (2×AAA) must be installed before operation.
The IR remote is set at the factory to control the device (using default Device ID# 255) without any
additional steps. Device ID# 255 is the default universal device identification number shared by the
devices. You may also pair an IR Remote to a specific device by changing the Device ID#, as follows:
Pairing (Enabling) the IR Remote to a Specific Device (optional)
You can pair an IR Remote to a specific device by creating a user-defined Device ID#. This feature is
useful when using multiple IR Remotes and devices.
On the device:
No. Name Connections
1 POWER Turns green when device is powered up.
2 HDD Flickers red when data is being read from or written to HDD.
3 Tx/Rx Flicker
s blue when network connection is functioning
properly.
4 USB Interface Universal Serial Bus (USB) port for additional devices such as
USB mouse and USB Hard Disk Drive (HDD).

Go to System > General.
Type a number (255 digits maximum) into the Device No. field.
On the IR Remote:
Press the DEV button.
Use the Number buttons to enter the Device ID# that was entered into the device.
Press Enter button to accept the new Device ID#.
Remote Control
Unpairing (Disabling) an IR Remote from a Device
To unpair an IR Remote from a device so that the unit cannot control any device functions, proceed
as follows:
Press the DEV key on the IR Remote. Any existing Device ID# will be erased from the unit’s memory
and it will no longer function with the device.
(Re)-enabling the IR Remote requires pairing to a device. See “Pairing the IR Remote to a Specific
device (optional),” above.
