Re: [ECS] Reset interfaces remotely Dan Carrington Sun, 28 Feb 1999 18:20:59 -0800

I too have had my IR Master running for about 6 years happily.  I have
had to reset the unit by power removal at the IR Master maybe three
times during those 6 years.  Every time I have had a problem, I have
been able to fully attribute it to a really bad brown out.  (my ECS
computer system is on a UPS but my IR Master in the other room is not)
