RF Settings Overview
The Osiris is factory set to work out of the box with an MRF-100 base sta-
tion, which is not addressable. The only setting that affects operation with
an MRF-100 is the RF/IR setting (to operate, the Osiris must be set to IR/RF
or RF- it will not operate the MRF-100 in IR mode). The Osiris will operate
with an MRF-250 or MRF-300 base station set to ID#0 with the factory
default settings. However, in order to gain the advantages of addressable
base stations (no interference between systems within one house or a
condo development with potential interference between two different con-
dos, turning the front blaster on or off, or routing identical commands to a
stack of identical televisions or satellite receivers etc.) you must reset the
Osiris and the Base Station ID# to any address other than ID#0. ID#0 is an
“open door” to any RF signal, it is not a true address. It is extremely useful
for testing whether any interference is present, since the base station’s STA-
TUS LED will flicker if interference is present. Once the base station is
moved to a location where the LED does not flicker, the ID# can be
changed to one of the other addresses.
Note that ID#0 does not allow any emitter or blaster configuration. Before
changing any emitter or blaster settings, you must reset the ID# to an
address other than 0. Here are the factory default RF settings of the Osiris:
IR/RF (Type of Signal) - All devices are factory set to send both an IR line of
sight signal and an omnidirectional RF signal.
ID# (Base Station Address) - All devices are factory set with ID #0.
EMITT (IR Emitter Line Output) - All devices are factory set to output IR com-
mands through ALL IR Emitter Line Outputs.
BLAST (Base Station Front Panel Blaster) - The blaster is factory set to be on.
Changing the RF Settings
Enter SETUP mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT
for three seconds.
Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Osiris will time
out automatically.
Press the PAGE buttons until page three of Setup is displayed (RF is
the only choice on Page 3).
