Highcross ECM-IR4B Quick Reference Manual

ECM-IR4B is a universal multifunctional IR-control module, designed
to control audio / video systems, air conditioners and any other
IR-controlled appliances. The module has intelligent IR-learning to
parse and analyse unique and repeating sequences.
The control, data exchange and configuration are all handled via
TCP/IP protocol.
