IR Conguration
IR communication can be sent two ways:
1. Downstream (from Transmitter)
a. Plug an IR Receiving Eye directly into the IR RX port of the Transmitter to
pass infrared signals to the IR TX port on the Receiver
b. Connect an IR Emitter or Direct IR Input to the IR TX port of the Receiver
2. Upstream (from Receiver)
a. Plug an IR Receiving Eye into the IR RX port of the Receiver to pass infrared
signals to the IR TX port on the Transmitter
b. Connect an IR Emitter or Direct IR Input to the IR TX Port of the Transmitter
