Cheat sheet

driver.cheatSheet()

What it is

A Global Cache Flex on the FLC-2E1B cable sends IR from two emitters and a blaster on port 3. It is the Flex factory default mode.

Specs

Type: 2 IR emitters and 1 blaster on a Flex Link cable (FLC-2E1B, FLC-T3 with two G-IR-E and FLC-BL)

Inputs: 2x IR emitters, 1x IR blaster

Mounting: Desktop or surface

Setup

First Use: This is the factory default mode, so a Flex found on the network is offered as this model until GET DEVICE MODE says otherwise. Works on a Flex IP, Flex IP PoE or Flex WiFi base unit. The cable mode, not the base unit, decides which commands answer. With no DHCP server a Flex IP takes 192.168.1.70. Up to 8 clients on port 4998.

Support

Tech Support Phone: 541-899-4800

Power Cycle: Remove power for ten seconds. Relay states return to open after a reset or power cycle.
