Front Panel Descriptions:
The front panel of the MRX-5 Advanced Network System Controller displays the following information:
-
Power LED: Indicates three (3) possible states:
• Solid Blue: The device is receiving power and has successfully booted up.
• Blinking Blue: The device is receiving power, but is still initializing.
• Off: The device is not receiving power. -
Network LED: Indicates three (3) possible states:
• Solid Blue: The device is connected to the network and has received an IP address.
• Blinking Blue: The device is connected to the network, but has not yet received an IP address. This LED blinks blue after a Total Control configuration file has been downloaded to the device.
• Off: The device is not connected to the local network.
Rear Panel Descriptions:
The rear panel of the MRX-5 Advanced Network System Controller displays the following information:
-
DC 12V: Connect the supplied power adapter to this port, the Power LED
becomes solid blue when the device has received power. -
IR Outputs: Four (4) standard 3.5mm IR emitter ports. IR Output 4 provides variable level adjustment.
-
RS-232 Port: One (1) RS-232 ports support Tx(Transmit), Rx(Receive), and GND(Ground) connections for two-way communication. Compatible with URC cables RS232F and RS232M.
Bottom Panel Descriptions:
The bottom panel of the MRX-5 Advanced Network System Controller displays the following information:
-
Reset Button: Located at the bottom of the device and requires a stylus or paper clip to press. Performs two (2) possible actions:

Installing the MRX-5:
The MRX-5 Advanced Network System Controller can be installed almost anywhere
in the home or business.
Once physically installed, it requires programming by a certified URC
integrator in order to operate local equipment using IP (network), RS-232
(serial), IR (infrared), or relays. All cables must be connected to their
respective ports at the rear of the device.
Network Installation:
- Connect an Ethernet cable (RJ45) to the rear of the MRX-5 and the onto an available LAN port of the network’s local router (Luxul preferred).
- A certified URC integrator is required for this step, configure the MRX-5 to a DHCP/MAC reservation within the local router.
Connecting IR Emitters:
IR emitters are used to communicate to AV devices such as cable boxes,
televisions, Blu-ray players, and more.
-
Plug IR Emitters into any of the four (4) IR outputs available on the rear of the MRX-5.
IR Output 4 includes an adjustable sensitivity dial. Turn this dial to the right to increase the gain and to the left to decrease it. -
Remove the adhesive covering from the emitter and place it over the IR receiver of the 3rd party device (cable box, television, etc.).

Connecting RS-232 (serial):
The MRX-5 can operate equipment via RS-232 communication. The allows discrete
serial commands to be triggered from the Total Control system.
Connect RS-232 device using URC’s proprietary RS-232 cables. These use either
male or female DB-9 connections with standard pin-outs.
- Connect the 3.5mm into the RS-232 Output available on the MRX-5.
- Connect the Serial connection onto the available port on the 3rd party device, such as AVRs, Televisions, Matrix Switchers, and other devices.
