Re: IRM +FirM Interfacing Update

["Frank Mc Alinden" <armagh@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Nik
            The cat5
socket is the highest component so around
10-15mm....Remember though a cat5 plug goes into it....

IR Feedback
If you use blaster type emitters then when you press the button on your
remote pointed at the rx unit the response from the pc (ir signal) will
get
send out of the blaster ir led picked up by the tv or whatever and also
the
zone rx unit and sent back again to the pc and just goes into an tx rx
loop...........
