IRTrans Wifi

To access the IRTrans device you don’t need the version with integrated infrared database or the integrated server. For configuration you have to add it as a device.

You have to enter the Mac address oder IP address of your IRTrans Wifi device. In chapter Network Configuration it is described more in details how to register a network device.

Control sequences (Pronto HEX Code or protocol definitions) you receive from the producer of your home electronic equipment or on web pages concerning on to this topic. But with the implementation of the IRTrans device in IRControl you have the possibility to learn the infrared sequences from your remote control.

The control codes for the infrared control must be stored with the IRTrans Wifi at the target to be controlled. A control code can either be deposited as a Pronto HEX code or as a protocol definition. In order to test the control codes, which are generated from protocol definitions, the device has the corresponding functionality (Send Test). Of course, the easiest way is to learn the control codes with the help of the remote control of the target device.

Infrared target

For all devices you want to control with your IRTrans Wifi, you have to register a target related to the IRTrans device.

You have to enter a name and a unique ID. The other parameters (device, subdevice and protocol) are optional. This parameters are used to generate the control sequences. If you enter them at this place you don’t have to configure them on each control command.

Now you have to register the infrared codes on the tab «Commands».

Add your commands by pressing the button . Enter a unique ID for the command code.

Now you have the possibility to add the control sequence as a Philips Pronto Code (ccf) or as a function definition (device, subdevice and function). But the easiest way is to learn the infread sequence by sending it with your remote control.

To learn a infrared sequence press on the Learn button. Now you have to send the the infrared sequence from your remote control to the IRTrans device. If the signal could be recognized, «OK» will be displayed in the Learn field.

With the Analyze Tool you can analyze the infrared sequence code. Press the Analyze button to start the tool. If the infrared sequence code be decoded the concerning function definition will be displayed. You have the possibility to store the sequence directly in this form after. The IR Protocol also will be set on the tab Device in this case. This transformation of sequence is optional. The command could also be send with with the learnd infrared sequence.

The Parameter «Toggle» is used for some devices while sending the same control sequences multiple. This information will be included in the control sequence each second time. So the target device can recognize, that the sequence was sent again. This is not supported for all protocols. Mostly the RC5 protocol uses this toggle bit.

With the send button you can transmit the control sequence to your target device for testing purpose.
