RE: xPL FirM Serial

[Shane Harrison <shane.harrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

I'm interested but got a bit lost :-)

Don't understand the purpose of the USB UIRT.  I can sort of understand
that
it is useful as it can convert an IR signal to an xPL message (am I right
?)
but don't understand how the zoning information is passed to it, through
it,
over it...

An ASCII picture might help or it might confuse me :-)

Cheers
Shane
