1. Open the Enterprise TV Web Administration Page.
   Right-click the Enterprise TV tray icon, and go to "Advanced Settings".


2. Select "Audio and Video Inputs".


3. Click "Edit Settings" next to the tuner you would like to configure.


4. Under "Capture Settings", select the appropriate Video Input.
   
   NOTE: If you are using an RF input (instead of composite or s-video), you will need to put a check in the box next to "Lock Tuner" and set the channel number that the tuner should be locked to.


5. If you had to change your Video Input, wait for the page to refresh. You will now see a section called "Tuning Settings". Select USB-UIRT for the External Tuning field.

6. Select your Cable/Satellite Box Model from the list. This is specifying an IR profile that our software will use to control your set-top box or DTA.
   
   NOTE: If you do not see an IR profile in this list for your set-top box or DTA, you will need to create a custom IR profile. Please see the following knowledgebase article for instructions on creating a custom IR profile: Creating an IR Tuning Profile for Enterprise TV 4


7. Fill in the Device Name field with the USB-UIRT name you would like to use for this tuner.
   Example: USB-UIRT, USB-UIRT-2, USB-UIRT-3, etc...


8. Select the Zone you would like to use with the USB-UIRT specified in the Device Name field.
   
   • Zone 1: This controls the blink emitter that is plugged into the gold side of the stereo to mono adapter.
     
     
   • Zone 2: This controls the blink emitter that is plugged into the silver side of the stereo to mono adapter.
     
     
   • Zone 3: This uses the front of the USB-UIRT for IR blasting.
     
     
   • Zone None: This blasts a signal to all 3 zones. This is great for testing all of your USB-UIRT connections.


9. Now let's take a look at the extra settings available. In the drop down box at the top of this page, select "Show more options" and wait for the page to refresh.
   
   You will now see more options available under "Tuning Settings". These new settings will affect how Enterprise TV will use the remote to tune channels.
   
   NOTE: We recommend only changing these settings after determining that Enterprise TV is unable to properly tune the set-top box.

   • Simulate "Enter" before channel change: Simulates pressing the "Enter" or "OK" button of your remote before entering digits. If you set-top box falls asleep and needs to be woken up with "Enter", use this option.
     
     
   • Simulate "Enter" after channel change: Some set-top boes will not change channels at all unless the user hits "Enter" or "OK" after entering the channel number. Enable this option if the set-top box for this source behaves in this manner.
     
     
   • Pad channels with leading zeroes: Specifies the number of digits a set-top box requires to change the channels. For example, a box may require the user enter "013" to get to channel 13; this corresponds to a Pad Count setting of 3.
     
     
   • Time between transmissions: The time, in milliseconds, that Enterprise TV should wait before sending the next button press when changing channels.
     
     
   • Repeat Rate: The number of times Enterprise TV should rapidly repeat a single button press to ensure that the set-top box receives it. Increase this number if the set-top box is not receiving digits, and decrease it if the set-top box is receiving duplicate digits.
