JP1 Remotes

I recently got a Comcast remote that looks to be a URC-1067bx3, at least that's my best guess based on this page http://www.urcsupport.com/index.php.

In the files section there's a file that appears to be an RDF for this remote. http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=category&cat_id=44

In that RDF it says this is a JP1.3 remote. What is that? How do I program it? I bought a JP1.2 cable from DIYGadget thinking it would work. I haven't tried it yet but I'm doubtful now. The 6-pin connector inside the battery area says "1003".

Any advice on how to program this remote? Will the JP1.2 cable I bought work for this remote?

Thanks!

The best way to tell what you have is to download it and see.
Mine looks similar to that and its a JP1.2 remote. Your cable will work with both JP1.2 and JP1.3 remotes.

I clicked "download from remote" in ir and I got two long blinks and one short blink on the "cable" button. Then ir gave an error message: "Failed to open JP1.x interface". I'm not sure what to try next. Any thoughts?

what versionof IR are you using? I had that problem with ir 7.0 when I first got a jp1.3 remote. I upgraded to IR 7.0.3 and everything worked fine.

Yeah it's 7.03. I just downloaded all the latest stuff. There are two versions of jp12serial.dll that I found. One is packaged with IR 7.03. The other is included with RemoteMaster.v1.81.zip. The RM one looks later. I tried both and get the same error, however.
