Back to this one again, Ian, and more queries for you, including some
real novice ones too!

I take it that the device will start pumping out h/b's with some
default values.

So when you power up the device it uses its 'firmware' values and off
it goes?

Does the default h/b propagate onto the Ethernet xAP network at this
stage? Is the RBControl device the thing that sits on the end of the
RS232 link?

I've not thought about h/w in any real way before so I'm interested in
the background now you've got something going.
