Cheat sheet

driver.cheatSheet()

What it is

The Global Cache Global Connect IR module has three ports, each an IR emitter output or a sensor input, and the third can drive a blaster. Commands use the Unified TCP API on port 4998.

Specs

Type: Global Connect IR and sensor module, 3 ports

Inputs: 3x 3.5 mm IR or sensor ports

Mounting: Global Connect chassis

Setup

First Use: With no DHCP server after two minutes the module takes 192.168.1.70 plus its chassis position. Each module is its own device with its own IP address. Up to 8 clients on port 4998; opening one more closes the oldest. Port 3's default mode differs by document; read it with GET PORT_MODE 3.

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.
