Before Getting Started● Designed for use on your local wireless networkThe HCM-C1 Base Station is designed for use on your local wired or wirelessnetwork. By adding an HCM-R1 Remote Control, or the URC Mobile Applicationon iOS and Android devices, the HCM-C1 Base Station can also control yourhome’s audio/video devices. ● Programmable via a simple web page interfaceUse the URC web based programming page to fully automate your homeentertainment, comfort and security system. Download and save the setup fileon the URC µCloud. All that is needed is basic knowledge of your devices, andthe settings of your local area network.Parts GuideWhat’s included in the HCM-C1 box:● HCM-C1 Wi-Fi Base Station● 12 Volt 1000 mA Power Supply● Ethernet Network Cable ● Four Standard Infrared Emitters● One Wall Mounting Plate with Four Mounting Screws● Owner’s ManualPage 5
Rear Panel DescriptionsInfrared OutputsThe rear panel of the HCM-C1 Base Station supplies four infrared emitter ports,allowing for control of any audio/video device normally controlled by a simple “pointand shoot” infrared remote control.Self-adhesive “flashers” (included) affix to the front panels of your television, blu-rayplayer and other equipment. The flashers connect to the infrared output ports,shown above.Ethernet LAN Connection / Wi-FiA standard Ethernet LAN Connection port is provided, for a “hard-wired” connectionto a local network. The HCM-C1 also supports a wireless Ethernet (Wi-Fi)connection to the same local network used for internet access.Page 6
Controlling Other Network Devices (IP Control)The HCM-C1 Base Station can also control other IP controllable equipment that isconnected to the same local network as the HCM-C1 Base Station. The HCM-C1Base Station can send “one-way” IP commands to other network devices, such astelevisions, projectors and audio/video receivers.DC Power InputAttach the provided DC Power Adapter to the input port shown below. The powersupply is a 12 Volt, 1 Ampere supply.Page 7
Front Panel DescriptionThe Front Panel of the HCM-C1 Base Station supplies a front panel infrared“blaster”.

Within the software, choose to use the rear panel infraredemitter outputs, or the front panel infrared blaster.The Front Panel Infrared Blaster of the HCM-C1 Base Station can also be used for“learning” infrared commands from another remote control. Any “learned” infraredcommand will be saved by the URC Web Page Programming Software.Page 8
Top Panel DescriptionThe top panel of the HCM-C1 Base Station provides three LED indicators, whichdisplays the unit’s status. Power LED Red indicates:•Illuminates when the DC Power Adapter is first applied. Blue:•Blinks while the base station is booting.•Illuminates when the Base Station booting process is complete. Page 9
Status LEDBlue:•Illuminates when connected to the URC Server and the Home's system file.•Blinks when downloading the Home's system file from the URC Server.Red:•Illuminates when the Base Station is not connected to the Home's system file. •Blinks when the Base Station cannot connect to the URC Server.Green:•Illuminates when the Base Station is being used in a secondary room.•Blinks when the Base Station's firmware is upgrading.Off: •Indicates the connection to the Local Area Network has failed.Page 10
Wi-Fi LEDBlue: •Blinks while Wi-Fi is connecting to the Network.Green: •Illuminates when the Wi-Fi signal strength is Good.Yellow: •Illuminates when the Wi-Fi signal strength is Fair.Red: • Illuminates when the Wi-Fi signal strength is Poor.• Blinks when there is an error connecting to the Wi-Fi network.Off: •Indicates the Base Station is no longer online. Ripple LEDThe Ripple LED has four possible states, which are set via the URC Web Program-ming Software. Off, Low, Medium or High. This LED is a convenience LED, anddoes not indicate any type of system status.Page 11
Bottom PanelReset ButtonA single, momentary press of the Reset button results in the rebooting of the HCM-C1 Base Station, similar to removing, and reapplying the DC power source.Pressing and holding the Reset button for ten seconds results in setting the HCM-C1 Base Station to a “factory default” state.
