X10 "MP3 Anywhere" and "MouseRemote"

These are radio frequency receivers that plug into a serial port on your computer and come with a multi-function remote control. The plug-in comes pre-configured to map the remote's buttons to Media Center functions. You can purchase these at the X10 website www.x10.com.

To configure MP3 Anywhere and MouseRemote for use with Media Center

2.

The correct COM port must be chosen in order for the plug-in to function. The default is COM1. To select another, click the Config button in the Plug-In Manager.

Note: the MouseRemote receiver may take up to 20 seconds to start responding after being started. When it's ready you'll see the small red light blink for each button press on the remote.
