User Manual - First-Start Wizard

Note

  • Click at the screenshots on the right hand side, to zoom in.
  • Please apologize, that all pictures are in German. However, the buttons, etc. are still in the same place.
  • If you installed the standard instead of the complete package, you may be asked to allow Updater.exe to run with administrative privileges sereval times under Windows Vista and Windows 7. In order to, click the "Continue" button.
  • Any setting, that is set in this wizard, can be changed later.

Welcome Page

This page allows you to change the language. Please note that you will have to restart X10Receiver.NET v2 and that administrative privileges may be required for Updater.exe (click "Continue" to allow it under Windows Vista and Windows 7). Furthermore, you have the possibility to import a back-up at this point.
In most cases, you can simple click "Next".

Plug Receiver

The next page asks you to plug your receiver. This can be either a USB dongle or a small box with a short cable. There are also internal receivers that do not have to be plugged of course.

Choose Remote Control

On this page, choose your remote control.

Channel Detection

Some remotes can send their commands on different channels. In order to detect the correct channel, simply press any button on your remote.

Important: Do not press the OK button!

Choose programs

By default, all applications that have been found on your computer, are checked. Select an application in the list and click "Advanced settings for this application" to choose the functions. In general, the default settings are okay.

Adjust Application

  • In the list, check all the functions that you want to be able to control later. All functions that are checked by default, are already assigned to a remote control button. For any other function, you will have to specify a button after you clicked "Next" by simply pressing them (Second picture).
  • The checkbox "Functions to load other modes" sets, if (from the chosen mode) you will be able to load other modes using your remote. It may be necessary to deactivate this checkbox because some buttons would be assigned to multiple functions.
  • The checkbox "Remote control" allows you to set a remote button, that you can use to load the mode later.
  • The checkbox "Application activated" enables the Auto-Mode-Switching when the corresponding application becomes the foreground application. This does only work if you activated the checkbox "Automatically change mode" on the previous page (you can still make up for that by clicking "Back").

(Specify Mode-Switch-Button)

If you have neither activated Auto-Mode-Switching nor specified buttons to directly load modes, you will be asked to specify a button that allows you to "scroll" through all modes (in alphabetical order). Please choose a button that is not important (like Setup or Red). If you do not want to specify a button, simply click "Next". You will have to switch to another mode manually, then.

You're done

After you clicked "Finish", your settings are applied. Please contact us if an error occurs.
