T e MX-iOS iP one/iPad/iPod Touc remote can control up to 255 devices wit up to 255 pages eac .
Control t ese devices over t e network via a base station, indoors and out, t roug walls and floors, and in
ot er rooms. Increase or decrease t e living room television volume from your kitc en or ot er room
wit out pointing towards t e TV. Before we can accomplis t is, we need to program t e MX-iOS in t e
Complete Control Program.
T is manual will guide you t roug t e steps of programming your MX-iOS remote control, based on
t e Programming in CCP manual found wit in CCP or in t e URC Control Room. Eac of t e programming
steps below, are represented by symbols w ic compare t at step wit t e programming process described
in t e Programming in CCP manual. T ese symbols will elp point out w ic steps are t e same (green),
similar (yellow) or completely different (red) from t e process described t ere. Make sure to review all of
t e red (different) and yellow (similar) steps, because t e programming procedure will be different. If you
would like furt er information regarding a specific step, refer to t e Programming in CCP Manual.
Introduction

Button Properties
T is step is different as it is not found in t e Programming in CCP manual. Since MX-iOS,
iP one/iPad/iPod Touc , is a grap ical remote, you can tweak a button by adding text and
modifying its image using Button Properties.
1. Click on a user interface button to view t e Button Properties window on t e rig t side of
CCP. Or click on t e Properties tab to open t e Button Properties window.
2. Modify a button by using t e following options:
Variable: Create (press New) or assign a variable from t e drop down list to c ange
t e state of a button from normal to pressed. T is is an optional feature. For
furt er details, refer to t e Advanced Applicati ns - Variables section in t is
manual.
Button ID: Not used in programming. T is internal Button ID is used by CCP as a
button identifier.
IR ID: T is ID is used by t e CCP databases to map commands to t e correct soft
button locations w en using t e "Save All" function of t e database. It is usually
not modified during typical programming, but it can be manipulated using t e pull-
down list in order to assign a desired IR ID to a button.
Text: Click on t e Text Entry box and use t e keyboard to edit t e label of a
button. Text tools allow you to c ange t e Font, Color, Style and Position of t e
text on a button. T e Text window also allows you to ave different text on t e
Normal button state and t e Pressed button state.
Image: Eac button as a pre-selected
image t at can be modified to a BMP,
GIF, JPG or animated GIF. Normal and
Pressed are detailed on the next page.
Position and Size: Modify t e button
location using t e X,Y coordinates of t e
MX-iOS user screen. You may ONLY
modify t e button eig t and widt on
NEW buttons, w en rig t-clicking and
selecting Add Button. T e image file
cannot be modified because of its
predetermined size. Keep in mind t e
button can never be larger t an t e
customizable screen of 640 x 600
(iP one/iPod Touc ) or 1536 x 1124
(iPad).

c anged or edited by using t e keyboard s ortcut: ALT + G. Several preloaded c oices are available. Snap
Points use t e “X” and “Y” coordinates of t e touc screen to determine t e center of t e button location.
A Snap Point grid can be applied to a Page, a Device or t e entire remote control.
Snap Point List:
T is list displays t e current coordinates of t e snap points on t e MX-iOS screen.
Snap Point:
