Relaying Infrared using ITR-002

Karam -

I have now tried stopping and restarting the network, still nothing.

Neil,

Ok found it .... it would appear that recent ITR firmware has an incorrect default parameter setting which is preventing the broadcast frames from being accepted under the normal initialisation routine. The firmware will be updated to correct this but in the meantime it is fairly straightforward to correct manually. The procedure is as follows:

- Stop the network
- Take note of the Node ID for each ITR unit that you need to correct (from its properties menu)
- For each module Issue the following direct commands (using the command line at the bottom of the communications window):
FA90xxyy44000E030242 <Transmit, or hit return twice> (changes the second TID to IR TX value)
FA90xxyy440008 <Transmit, or hit return twice> (saves changes to module non volatile memory)
where xxyy is the ID of the particular module that you are correcting.

OK I've done that and everything is now working as expected.

Just one further question, this weekend I'll be doing some wiring changes that will result in the network being powered down. Will I have to enter the commands againd when I re-power the network?

No, the corrected parameter has been saved to non volatile memory. It would only revert back if you deliberately cleared this or reset the module back to its factory defaults. A firmware update will become available in due course which you could use to further avoid even the latter.

OK - Thank you.
