Problem with particular device.

Postby stuart » Fri 2. Apr 2010, 17:21

Hello,
I have two IRTrans ethernet V1.2 on the network.
They are correctly relaying commands for all my devices except one, a satellite receiver.

I have tried all combinations of IR Receive Timeout, and IR Repeat Timeout.
The LED on the modules flashes,I get codes received on the PC.

But it does not command the device.

Is there anything else I can try ?

TIA
Stuart.

PS
Forgot to mention, important point, On the PC IRTrans Tray, the received codes are unstable on this remote.
But stable on the other working devices.

Hi,
if the codes are unstable the problem might be that the remote which makes problems has got different carrier frequency.
It is technically not possible to relay IR codes with different carrier frequency with a decoding device like the IRTrans.

Also there are some remote controls that use codes that are difficult or impossible to relay because they use very short pulses.
Mostly you can learn and send those codes but you cannot relay them.

The only thing you might do would be to use a different remote control and translate those codes into the needed format.
To do that you would need to have IRTrans devices with IRDB. Furthermore you will need to learn the problematic codes somehow.
That could be done using a Codelearning receiver, however that is not supported by the V 1.2 IRTrans device.
