You're pretty much correct in all your assumptions there Howard
unfortunately.

In order to achieve what you're wanting to do some code for a TCP socket
handler is going to have to be added to the Crestron project running on
the CP3N.  This would have to be done by the original third party
although they may have provided source code to the client or sometimes
they place it on the processors Flash memory.  Regardless the
programming software is only available to Crestron authorised dealers
and can't be downloaded anymore.
