1 General
The Omni includes an IR transmitter and receiver that allows the Omni to
replicate commonly used IR devices, such as remote controls for TV’s, DVD’s,
Cable/Satellite or environmental controls such as automatic door openers.
Once an Omni with IR Control is connected to a R-net system, then IR Control
can be from a conventional Joystick Module (or other Input Device) or from a
Specialty Input Device that is connected to the Omni.

2 User Menu
IR Mode is accessed in the normal way of Mode selection, i.e. operation of the
R-net system’s Mode button or Command.
IR Mode will only be available if IR Codes have been stored in the Omni. There
are two ways to store IR Codes in the Omni – by ‘learning’ Codes from IR
handsets or by programming from the PC based IR Configuration Tool, refer to
sections 4 and 7 for respective details of each method.
When an IR Omni is dispatched from PGDT there are
no stored IR Codes.
If IR Mode is not available and there are stored IR
Codes, then refer to section 8, Configuration.
On entering IR Mode the user will be presented with a list of available IR
Appliances, such as below.
When an IR Omni is dispatched from PGDT, it will
contain a default menu as shown in section 9. If
required, the IR Configuration tool can be used to
change this default menu.

To navigate the IR Mode, using a joystick as an example of an Input Device:
Forward joystick deflections will highlight the Appliance above.
Reverse joystick deflections will highlight the Appliance below.
Left or Right joystick deflections will enter the highlighted Appliance’s sub-menu,
which will contain all the IR Commands for that Appliance
Left or Right joystick deflections will then activate the highlighted IR Command.
For each Appliance there is a list of associated IR Commands. Using the TV
example, Commands such as: On/Off, Channel Up, Channel Down, Volume
Up and Volume Down may be displayed. When the Omni is transmitting the
selected Command, it is highlighted with a red background.
