Where in the RTI software is the option to select IR / RF or both?

I just picked up a pair of these and have never programmed one...

Thanks!

You must have come over from URC!

Welcome!


There is no IR/RF option per se.
Assuming you have an RP-1 or similar as your RF pickup..

You would have to create a system macro on the processor to issue commands to remotely located equipment.

Next right click on the button in question and put it in standalone mode.

Then create a macro on that button with IR commands and call the system macro (which it will do via an RF trigger code).

Viola', you are cooking with gas now!

When you add a processor the software defaults to RF. To change from RF to IR click the button, right click properties then click output.

If you need to send both IR from the remote and RF to the processor remember to create a system macro in the processor. You may then call the macro from the remote control.

I have an RP-6 for a T3. (not a URC guy!!!;).. new to adding a remote to the same RP6.

1. How do I ensure these T1 remotes can access the same RP6? Is there a way to sync them so they can communicate?

2. Do I rename the RP6 in each of the new T1 remotes or can I access the named RP-6 I am already using?

I added a 'new RP-6' in the menu but I did not see an option to pull up the already programmed RP-6 I have..

I guess what I am asking, is how do I add a couple remotes to a T3/RP6 system that I already use?

Thanks!!!

Just adding the remotes to the system will set them up. Downloading the program into them will sync them.

As SoundExp said, newly created devices in a system with a processor will default to RF trigger code output to the processor in the system (your RP-6).


After re-reading, I have a question:

Did you connect to your existing processor and upload the program from it?

Cool. That's intuitive...

SO, I can rename the RP6 for the new devices but it will still access that same RP6.....

Thanks!

I don't understand why you want to rename the RP6

Maybe I am misunderstanding..

When I set up my new T1, I also selected an RP-6 for it.

When I openned the new RP-6, the software asked me to name it. So, I named it (family room RP6).

What I was getting at was I thought it would show my current, already programmed RP6 (Theater RP6) as an option rather than renaming a new one...

Are you understanding me?
Thanks for the help!

Just add the T1 to your existing program with the T3. You will have a T3, T1, and your RP6 for the same program. Put your T1 in standalone mode and program it with the system macros on you RP6. You don't need to rename it just ad your T1 to that system.

Yes, I'm understanding now. I think you need to connect to you existing RP-6 and upload your current program from it (assuming you do not already have a copy of it). Once you have your current program loaded, add your T1s to that.

Thanks.... Makes complete sense now... I appreciate all the help guys..


Last question.... If I wanted to...... could I simply keep the T1 program separate from my T3/RP6 system but share the same RP6??

Thanks!!

I think you can import the RP6 into the new file, not exactly sure I have never done that. Or if it isn't, just recreate the RP6 in the new file

You cannot use the same RP-6 in two files for the simple reason that the RP-6 can only hold one system file.

That is to say, if the file that had the T1s was loaded, your T3 would no longer work - and vice versa.

Any operation of the physical RP-6 from a remote that is from a system file that contained an RP-6 with the same system code is purely conincidental - they might be a duplicate RF trigger codes but that's it.

By the way, you will have to download the system file to all the remotes and the processor when you are done.
