Control Connections
IR Control
The VIA!migo may be controlled by IR or RS-232. IR control is the simplest connection and will provide all control options but WILL NOT provide feed­back when used with Olé Touchpads. Feedback, in the case of IR controlled applications, occurs on a TV or VIA! Touch Panel dispaly.
Use a mono 3.5mm interconnect cable between an IR Out port from an ELAN Multi-Room Controller or other IR device and the Remote In port on the VIA!migo as shown in Figure 5.

RS-232 Control
RS-232 serial control provides reliable control from VIA! Touch Panels and Olé Touchpads. In addition to control capabilities, RS-232 control allows Olé Touchpads to display feedback (Title, Track, etc.). An ELAN SS1 System Station is required to display feedback on Olé Touchpads. Use the included RJ-45 to DB-9 Adaptor when connecting the VIA!migo to the SS1.
Note: Maximum distance between the VIA!migo and an SS1 is 300'.
