Infrared crosspoint system. An infrared (IR) command code is received at the source location, and processed to produce a packet of information (600) rep-resenting the IR command code (204, 206, 208, 210). This packet can be incor-porated into a communication frame such as an Ethernet frame and forwarded over a network. The frame is parsed at the destination location (306) and the IR command code can be reassembled (310, 312) based on information in the packet. In some embodiments, apparatus including a frequency determination buffer (404), an IR transmitter and receiver (400, 402) and a processing platform (412) is used to implement the invention. The techniques disclosed herein can also be implemented as part of a general purpose, premises automation system, consisting of distributed processing platforms (700, 701, 702, 702).
