Product Software

• GC-IRL IR Learner Utility (version 2.2) - This is the companion application which is included on the CD shipped with GC-IRL products. This utility allows for the capture of IR commands and conversion to GC-100 and CCF formats.  This program requires the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1.  If Microsoft .NET is not installed on your computer, you will be prompted to install it while installing the GC-IRL IR Learner Utility.
  
  Microsoft . Net Framework Version 1.1 is required to run some Global Caché applications. Download the .zip file, open it, and run the program dotnetfx.exe to install.

Development and Testing

• GC-100 Discovery and Configuration Utility -  Use this utility to locate GC-100s installed on the network.  This utility cannot be used to locate GC-100s with a firmware revision lower than 3.0.  To use, unzip the files into a folder on your computer and begin using the GC-100 Discovery and Configuration Utility by running GC Finder.exe.
• GC-100 Test Utility - This .msi installation file will install the GC-100 Test Utility. This small application is for testing the functionality of the GC-100 Network Adapters and confirming proper operation.
• GC-100 Crestron Template - To download the updated beta template, you will need to supply contact information.
• GC-CCF Conversion Utility (version 2.0) - This application is a stand-alone conversion utility to convert GC-100 IR codes to Pronto CCF codes, or Pronto CCF codes to GC-100 IR codes.  This program requires the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.1.  If Microsoft .NET is not installed on your computer, you will be prompted to install it while installing the GC-CCF Converter Utility.
• GC-IRL API Specification - This PDF provides information on the GC-IRL IR Learner device.
• GC-IRE API Specification - This PDF provides information on the GC-IRE IR Extender device.
• GC-100 API Specification - This PDF provides information to assist installers, system integrators and developers in developing drivers and interface applications for the GC-100.
• GC-Scan - This .exe utility is used to verify GC-100 operation, test IR codes and other operations. We have modified the original TCPScan application (http://www.geocities.com/lpiergentili/tcpscan.htm) written by Luca Piergentili with his permission specifically for GC-100 use. Please review the Readme for this utility before you use it.
• IR Test Utility - This zip file contains a small program and readme.txt meant to assist installers, system integrators, and developers in testing the IR out functionality of the GC-100 IR ports.
