Subject: Re: Editing diagonal guardians in JSWED

 

Andrew:

1) Are Broadsoft Lifts JSW II-style lifts?
2) I have a vertical guardian with these bytes:
12 6f 5d 30 fe e0 30 d0

Adding #10 to the second byte turns it into:
12 7f 5d 30 fe e0 30 d0

But this guardian is not a lift (or at least not a JSW II lift).

So, what am I doing wrong?
