The name of the new Remote control should be seen onn the top
In the Function box, click ADD
A new ADD NEW FUNCTION window appears as shown below
Enter the name of the function eg ON, OFF, Channel1, Bright, Play etc
Do not check the box old UCM01 (unless you have a UCM01)

The Serial Port is the connection to the UCM05, COM1 to COM16
This has to be entered separately from Comfigurator. Ethernet ports cannot be used for this

Check the box "Generate Signal via Pronto Hex Format. The screen below will appear

The space at the bottom is to allow Pronto Hex codes to be entered
Pronto hex codes are the codes used to encode Infrared signals when they are learned. Pronto hex codes for many devices may be found in http://www.remotecentral.com. Warning - These are uploaded by users so not all of them may work
Open the hex codes in a text editor eg Notepad
Copy the hex codes for the function you wish to learn and PASTE it into the box
