Title: Apparatus for Communicating with a Remote Computer to Control an Assigned Lighting Load 
Abstract: A local computer generates requests for a remote computer to control a remotely-located lighting load. The local computer generates and displays a control panel, which prompts a user to enter an intensity for the remotely located lighting load. When an intensity is entered into the computer, the computer generates a lighting control request and sends the lighting control request to the remote computer. The remote computer controls power to the remotely-located lighting load according to the lighting control request.
