Trying to update B&K keypads to work with Xfinity XG1 Pace cable box. After Importing the MXD file for Pace obtained from the URC database (code 195; downloaded and exported using Mx-850 editor), keypad IR commands are NOT recognized by the Pace box, -Model PX013ANC.

I think it should work because the same MXD file has allowed my MX-700’s and SR10 remotes to control the Pace box...no problem. And URC worked with B&K to make both the SR10 remotes and the CK1.2 keypads, right? And it has the same Import MXD commands as the other URC editor programs.

Also...When I go to another room and point the MX-700 at the CK1.2 keypad’s self-contained IR receiver, the IR commands to Pace Xfinity DO work—they are received via IR from the Keypad’s receiver and transmitted by the B&K IR router to the Pace box (as B&K Source input #1). Xfinity recognizes them from the remote.

BUT the keybad BUTTON// commands are not working....Not the "Hard" buttons and not the programmable LCD buttons...though these do work fine to control the old Scientific Atlanta cable box, and they continue to work fine from the keypads to control DVD player,B&K Multi-room AV amps, Roku, etc.

I’ve double-checked the keypad programming, re-creating a simpler MXD file direct from URC database (using MX-850 editor to export the MXD file which I import into B&K editor for Ck1.2)...and I have tried a second keypad also....but no go. Results are zilch: what kind of incompatibility could there be between the CK 1.2 keypad and the Pace xfinity box...that prevents buttons on the keypad from being recognized...while the same MXD file works great via MX-700 and SR10 remotes—including when sent to the Pace box through the keypad’s own IR receivers?

They may not have copied correctly. Try learning the codes from the mx700 to the keypad.

You might try the 202 codeset (Xfinety rf only) and see if it works.

It was released for use with URC remotes using a processor (mrf's)

It's worth a shot.

Interesting idea. In my set-up, all codes sent from keypad buttons will arrive at the Pace box only via IR routed through B&K AV multi-zone amp to IR flasher emitters in the zone......but you think the RF codes could conceivably be recognized and transmitted by the keypad over cat5 wires to the B&K IR routing and then to an IR flasher/emitter?

Whether the URC remote is set to IR or RF, the codes are the same. The MRF base just converts the RF back to the IR.

But still, if you have working codes on a remote, learn them in through the keypad.

Well, I tried some learned codes. Not recognized by the Pace box.
I also tried the URC RF-only code set for Xfinity (set 202); not recognized by the Pace box.
I also tried rebuilding the mxd file from MX-700 editor (was worried about possibility that originating with MX-850 Editor might include some other coding that could confusing the Pace box). No response.
When I put a volt-meter on the Signal and Ground screws on the connecting block, I see some kind of quick voltage change after pressing a keypad button, so there is an indication that something is being sent...But it is not recognized by Pace box if it originates with the press of a button on a CK 1.2 keypad.

I'm not familiar with B&K.
Is there any way you can turn up the IR output?
The Xfinity boxes seemed to be a little critical on emitter placement and IR level.

I've been tempted to use a blaster instead of an emitter on a couple of occasions.

No, you can't increase the output. But if you can shoot a code through the eye in the keypad and it work, then you should be able to learn that same code. They spit out what they take in.
