3. Simultaneously press and release the UP, DOWN, and SEND pushbuttons to toggle the P
mode setting On and Off. The display then shows an On or Off message indicating the
new P mode setting and then immediately exits the P mode. You can activate multiple
P modes to capture an HC function; refer to the Default Mode Settings table for the P
mode default settings when you connect power to the IRIS unit.
4. Repeat the Capturing HC functions in default mode steps 3 through 6, to capture the
HC function.

Baud Rate Settings
The default communication setting for the IRIS unit is 9600 baud. You can change the baud
rate with the
UP, DOWN, and SEND pushbuttons. You must set the IRIS unit's baud rate to
match the baud rate of the PC running the IREdit software program to store HC functions.
Note: The IRIS unit automatically sets the baud rate to 9600 when you connect power. If you
reset the baud to any other setting and disconnect power, the previous baud rate setting is
lost and the IRIS unit will default back to 9600 baud.
To set the baud rate:
1. Disconnect the power supply from the IRIS unit.
2. Press and hold the
UP, DOWN, and SEND pushbuttons. Reconnect the power supply and
release the pushbuttons.
3. The two digits that appear in the display represent the current baud rate setting. The
following table lists the RS-232 baud rates and corresponding display digits:
4. Press the
UP or DOWN pushbuttons to reset the baud rate.
5. Press and hold the
UP, DOWN, and SEND pushbuttons again to set the new baud rate.

E1 or Er Messages
Problem Solution:
A Hand Control can’t seem to capture
the codes.
The AXB-IRIS is able to verify the
codes, but when the Send Command
is pressed, an Er appears on the
unit’s display.
• Using NetLinx Studio: Go into the Device
Manager dialog box and change the COM port
settings. Verify that the new settings are as
follows: 9600, No Parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
and Flow Control is set to None.
• Using IREdit: This program is recommended for
use with this product and can also be used if the
Studio application changes (mentioned above)
do not work.
