Motorola VIP1200 Discrete On/Off or Possible Emulation

Hi, all.

Is anyone aware of discrete on/off codes for the Motorola VIP1200 set top box used by AT&T U-verse? If none exist, can anyone suggest a way to force discrete behavior? I know that pressing "OK" will turn the unit on from standby, so that could serve as an acceptable discrete on. However, I do not know of anything that will turn the unit off other than the power toggle. And because "OK" can act as a discrete on, I don't see any way to use a ToadTog predictably.

I welcome any inputs. Thanks!

off = OK + power toggle?

if it's on, OK does nothing and the power toggle turns it off
if it's off, OK turns it on and the power toggle turns it back off

I thought about that, but I would prefer not to turn it on and turn it off to maintain an off state, since I do have a power off macro that turns off all devices (including those already off). Still, I'll use your solution if I can't come up with anything better. Thanks.
