INFRAREDASSISTANCE
IR assistance serves two purposes:

‐ ProvidesamechanismfortheSTBtooptionallyrestrictofferingaconnectionrequestonlytotheRCUthat

IR assistance behaviour does not depend on the method of pairing initiation; i.e. both ‘auto-pairing’ and manual
pairing methods shall use IR assistance.

Note that the host response to use the second frame in the Macro for restrictive pairing is optional.
It offers a mechanism to restrict pairing to the device sending the IR frames but it is the host
decision to make this restriction and hence does not prevent pairing by default.
