Internal IR receiver with MCE Remote Control(RC6)

HDPLEX Internal IR with MCE Remote Manual

Part 1: Installation

A. Install the IR PCB in the IR slot on the back of the chassis faceplate using one M3x6 screw

B. HDPLEX Internal IR PCB wire layout.

C. Plug the USB on the motherboard internal port, plug the power switch cable on the middle two PIN of the HDPLEX power switch PCB. This Power Switch PCB does NOT come with the remote package. Power switch PCB comes only with the HDPLEX Fanless Chassis.

D: Connect the 5VSB to the +5V output from the DC-ATX converter.

If you can’t power up the PC from S5 state, first unplug the IR switch cable, flip 180 degree and plug back. Incorrect polarization will prevent IR from power up the PC. If this does not solve the problem, you need to use HDPLEX IR’s unique “Forced shutdown” function. See details in the “Multimedia function” section.

Part 2: Remote Configuration

The HDPLEX MCE remote is preconfigured as the standard windows MCE remote and use Microsoft Windows native driver, no third party driver is needed. In addition, remote configuration program allows you to tailor the MCE remote to your needs. Download this program at http://www.hd-plex.com/images/accessories/remote.zip

If you are a Logitech Harmony One remote user, please use Microsoft as the manufacturer and MCE-1039 as the model to locate the code in Logitech universal remote database.

To assign a function, just click the corresponding key to activate setup window. A warning dialog box will pop up if the program does not detect the HDPLEX internal IR. Please make sure the IR is plugged properly on the motherboard USB port. If you continue with this warning, no setup will be saved.

There are six categories of functions which you could assign to a remote key.

• Standard keyboard function

• Multimedia function (For OS):

• Forced Shutdown function: This HDPLEX IR unique feature allows you press and hold the key for 4-5 sec and PC will be shut down while the OS is not responding. In addition, some motherboard could not be powered on by USB port in S5 state (power off state). Assign "Forced shutdown" and press and hold the key for 4-6sec, the HDPLEX internal IR will perform a hard power on action, the same as physically press the power button to start the PC.

• Windows MCE function:

• Mouse and Command Line Function:

• Switching Profile function:

Part 3: Using Profiles

HDPLEX IR allows each key have four different function by switching between four profiles. For example, key”1” could function as keyboard “P” under profile 1 and “Volume+” under profile 2.
Profiles could be exported and imported in the format of BIN file.

Each individual profile could be exported or imported. For example, if user A export “Profile 1” to 1.bin and user B import 1.bin to his profile 1, both users will have the same remote key function under Profile 1. If user B import 1.bin to his “Profile 2”, his other three profiles won’t be affected and his profile 2 will have the same remote key configuration as user A’s profile 1.

All four profiles could be exported or imported at once as a single bin file when choose “All Profiles”. For example, user A export his four profiles into foursettings.bin. If user B import foursettings.bin when choosing “All Profiles” , user B four profiles will be the same at user A. If user B import foursettings.bin when “choosing Profile 3”, only the first profile from foursettings.bin will be imported. In this case, user B’s profile 3 will be the same as user A’s profile 1.

Warning: “Empty current settings” button will erase key configuration for ALL FOUR PROFILES no matter which profile you have selected. If you want to get back to factory default, please download factory default settings at http://www.hd-plex.com/images/accessories/factory.bin and import under “All Profiles”.
