IR/Serial Send_Commands (Cont.)

	the buffer. If there are no commands in the buffer, the card will continue to try
	until a 'POF' or 'POD' command is received. If it fails to turn the device on, a
	PUSH and RELEASE is made on channel 254 to indicate a power failure error.
	Channel 255 changes are disabled after receipt of this command.
	You can only use the PON and POF commands when an IR device has a
	linked I/O channel.
	Syntax:
	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>,'PON'
	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND IR_1,'PON'
	Sends power up IR commands 27 or 9 to the IR_1 port.

	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND IR_1," 'PTOF',15"
	Sets the time between power pulses to 1.5 seconds for the IR_1 device.

	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND IR_1," 'PTON',15"
	Sets the duration of the power pulse to 1.5 seconds for the IR_1 device.
SET IO LINK	The I/O status is automatically reported on channel 255 on the IR port.

commands.
	Number = 1-8; set the I/O channel to 0 to disable I/O link settings.
	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND IR_1," 'SET IO LINK 1'"
	Sets the IR_1 port link to I/O channel 1. The IR port uses the specified I/O input
	as power status for processing PON and POF commands.
SET MODE	Syntax:
Sets the IR/Serial ports for IR	SEND_COMMAND <DEV>, 'SET MODE <Mode>'

	Example:
	SEND_COMMAND IR_1, 'SET MODE IR'
	Sets the IR_1 port to IR mode for IR control.
