Overview

The TIRA IR Learn Box Program will let you learn any IR controlled media device for use with the ITL PVBX system.

How to learn new IR codes

1. Make sure the PVBX Server is off and the program closed.
   
   
2. Make sure the IR Learn Box is plugged into the back of your PVBX Switch (A Box only).
   
   
   
   
3. Launch the TIRA_Learn program.
   
   
4. Watch the status screen. You want to make sure the program does not fail initialization. If it does fail, close the program, double check all your connections, and try again. If it fails again, give ITL Tech Support a call.
   
   
   
   
5. Now you are ready to learn a new device.
   
   
   
   
   1. Type in the name of the media device. Use something descriptive for easy lookup later.
      
      
   2. Select a button from the drop down.
      
      
   3. Place the remote control in front of the IR Learn Box.
      
      
      
      Click 3. Learn IR button.
      
      Press button on remote.
      
      Watch status screen for learn notice.
      
      
      
      
   Repeat as necessary.
   
   Note: You may need to move the remote control around to find the optimal position from the IR Learn Box.
   
   
   • The New Device button will let you learn another new IR Device.
     
     
   • The Clear Button button will remove the selected IR Code from the database.
     
     
   • The Cancel Learn button will cancel the learn routine. This button is only active when you have pressed the 3. Learn IR button.

Notes

• This program is only for learning IR codes for use by the ITL PVBX System.
  
  
• This program only works with PVBX systems with the TIRA IR control. You can tell this by finding a USB "B" connection on the back of the PVBX switch. If your PVBX switch has a serial plug, then you have an different style of switch and need to use a different program.
  
  
  
  
• This program and the PVBX Server cannot be run at the same time.
  
  
• If for any reason the USB cable comes unplugged while the program is running: shut down the program, plug the USB cable back in, and restart the program.
  
  
• The number in front of the device name in Open IR (example: "1205 | Cyber...") corresponds to it's record number in the database. This is only useful if need to troubleshoot device codes on a database level. Just ignore it.
  
  
• If you have any questions please feel free to contact ITL Tech Support.
