2. System Diagram
The system diagram illustrates the connectivity for global remote control. It shows a flow from 4G/3G networks connecting to the Internet, which then communicates with a router. The router enables Wi-Fi connectivity for a "Smart Remote (Gateway Version)" and the LTECH L-Home Cloud Service. This setup allows for remote management and control of the LED lighting system.

4. Remote Control ID Learning Method
If a remote control is accidentally disconnected from its receiver, the ID can be learned again using the following steps:
- Learning ID: Short press the ID learning button on the M4-5A receiver. The running light on the receiver will turn on. Then, press any key on the M4/M8 remote control. The receiver's running light will flash several times, indicating successful activation.
- Cancel ID: To remove all paired remotes, long press the ID learning button on the M4-5A receiver for 5 seconds.
Note: One receiver can be matched with a maximum of 10 remotes of the same or different kinds.
