Choose ONE of these options:
• Select a recognized manufacturer. The model
number optimized for NetCommand will display at
the bottom of the screen. If a number follows the

manufacturer. For many device types, non-listed
models will operate in the same way as the listed
models and you can still use the pre-loaded setting.
