IRL File for LG LVC 737 DVD/VCR

I cannot find anything on AMX or in the IR Database.

I started an existing job today;
Client does not have code.
I don't know if I can pull the IRL file from the NI3000...
Does anyone know if this is possible?

In the past(recent), I have asked for help with a protocol and discovered that another protocol works for a different device and I thought someone might know of, or have, an IRL file that will do the trick.

Thank you in advance for any help.

    You can use IREDIT to extract the IR files from the NetLinx as long as the 'irfile01" (etc.) file for the IR port number you want hasn't been molested or deleted from the NetLinx internal file set (via FTP). Odds are good that it is still fine.

    Use the HELP in IREDIT to see how to extract. No reason to repeat it here.

    Thank you.
    I did FTP in and pulled a file "" from the box.
    I tried to open it in IREdit, but that did not work.... DOH!!!

    OK, the file I pulled from the box is called "irfile09".
    No file extension.

    I gave it an IRL and IRV extension then tried to import - empty!!!!
    The help is really no help.

    You cannot use the file you FTP out of the processor, DON'T DO THAT.
    Use IREDIT like I said. The "irfile" in the FTP section is just a stub that identifies the commands and other meta information related to the IR that was uploaded to the corresponding port. If that file is missing from the Netlinx, however, you can't export the IR from the port using IREDIT RECIEVE.

    The HELP word you want is RECEIVE... from the IREDIT HELP FILE, full documentation:

    Receiving an IR File
    You can transfer a preexisting IR file from either an Axcess or NetLinx Master directly into IREdit.

    Note: All property information except Notes is received from a NetLinx Master and no property information is received from an Axcess Master.

    First select a user database in the Navigator window. If you do not have a user database you must create one.

    Select Tools > Receive. IREdit uses the settings you established in Communications Settings and opens the Receive IR Wizard dialog.

    Click Next to proceed to the next screen.

    Confirm the information in the Device field.

    Enter the Device, Port and System number.

    Click Next. IREdit will then request the IR data from the targeted device.

    Note: Place a check next to Please take me to the advanced screen to proceed to the final screen of the wizard after a successful transfer.

    Click Next when the wizard reads File transfer complete.

    Enter the name of the Manufacturer or select from the list and click Next.

    Enter the name of the Category or select from the list and click Next.

    Enter the name of the Hand Control Model and click Next.

    Enter the name of the Model and click Next.

    Confirm all information listed on the Finished screen

    Click Finish.

    Use IREdit and extract the contents of the IR slot DPS itself.

    Thank you.

    I misunderstood.
    I will try to RECEIVE the file when I am on site tomorrow.

    Thank you again.
